That has to be one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard!!! Given.....The 330 has more power, but the Benz has far more less flaws then the 330, and hasnt had 1 recall yet, The 330 has a couple. The 330 isnt at the low end of the ladder for BMW like the c230 is for Benz. The 325 is BMW's low-end car, and lets not even go to comparing the two, because if the c230 is a "neon", than the 325 would clearly be a Ford Fiesta

 

whats up guys...im also new around here...i dont own a benz, however next year ill be receiving advanced training from them to be a technician. i just wanted to comment that a couple of people mentioned an erratic acceleration from a stop. i just wanted to ask if you guys drove the car more, or if your wives drove it more. the reason im curious is, if the wife is the primary driver, and she drives gently with it...that would explain why it accelerates/shifts the way it does. it takes the computer's adaptive strategies a little while to learn your particular driving patterns.

im not saying that is whats going on...just throwing out my $.02.

what im curious about is the new c350 with the optional 6 speed. seems like a pretty quick car...just curious to if anyone has driven one yet.

 

The '07s are just arriving. I have driven the 230 6 speed and I can't wait to try the 350 we have inbound.
