Op, The comparison between the 335i and C300, when it comes to power,styling the bmw gat an edge over the benz, U would have to compare the 335i to C350.I'm a lover of Darmian Chrysler but I gat be factual here. The only bmw I have ever owned was a 2005 5series and it was indeed a sweet ride. Meanwhile,there is a reason y BMW and Benz are enemies Both are battling it out for supremacy.

Bmw enthusiasts said the 2005 5 series is pretty reliable if taken care of. How true is this, sir?

[quote author=king406 post=44285839]Good evening brothers. I want to upgrade from my mercedes c230 to one of these two cars, both are 2011 models. The cars are currently abroad, however I don't know which of these beasts to pick, I want them both but no money to buy the two both cars have almost perfect reviews on the internet, only a few complains about electrical issues with the bmw. I'm asking for ur advice on which u think is better, both cars don't consume much fuel so fuel economy is not what I'm looking for. I travel a lot, actually on a weekly basis and don't have a family of my own so I think what I'm looking for is performance, durability and reliability. Thank you. [/

The BMW, what a pretty cool beast

But very rare and I believe it's parts are not on the cheap side

king406:
i got the bmw. Very impressed with its performance, it is no doubt a beast but unfortunately the car has proven to be not durable, it fails to handle the harshness of nigeria, things ranging from average grade fuel which caused me multiple jackings all the way down to portholes. I've had problems with fuel pump, struts, bushings, low arms, cracked rims, and once overheated on my way to kaduna with no apparent reason, the car functioned normally after i let it cool down and it never overheated again. I've replaced the above mentioned parts multiple times. I am soon going to sell the car together with my C230 and go back with my beloved benz, E350 2011. Benz handles nigeria better.

you were warned but never listened...
Mercedes Benz over the Bavarian company any day

His problems were self made.
Apart from the overheating which can happen to the Benz too, every other issue was self induced.

Low profile tyres on big rims means you ought to avoid potholes like a plague.

The c300 cannot lace the shoes of a 335i.

It's like bringing a knife to a gunfight.

It doesn't stand a chance.

Not a fan of the "Germans" but I'd choose the 335i over the c300 always.

Your opinion ain't facts though.

Bring a c350 to the picture, and watch what happens...

[quote author=Antihelminth post=115235067][/quote]get the benz, It is far more reliable. Speed wise the bmw is on another level to the benz, only c400 can match the bmw. Being in nigeria, you will only have issues with the bmw.

I just found out that the post was made in 2016 and it wasn't important I give an opinion

Don't shift goal post. Stay with the discuss. C300 against 335i.

Of course my opinion aren't facts but can you counter them with your own facts?

Antihelminth:

True that but it may help another fellow looking at getting a bmw.

The op hastily wrote off the 335i and tagged it a bad car when it may not have been.

BMW fanboy much?

Two completely incomparable cars in raw power, handling etc etc

So no valid foundation for a reasonable discussion.

Now, here is a man who knows one end of the spanner from the other and with whom I can joyously enjoy automobile banter.

Ride on comrade.

My story was written in an E46.

Till date, I am still amazed by that car. Awesome handling and stopping power. Damn.

Pigs are ever attracted to the mud.
It's their second nature.

Stop quoting me with senseless concoctions in a bid to pass a message.

Ignoring you moving forward.

You know nothing about nothing, and who cares what old German jalopy you'd driven to give you the basis for lopsided and biased arguments.

I PUT it to you that the two cars, the op mentioned were not comparable at all, and still yet ( the ever unreliable BMW disappointed him) and you yap about nonsensical things that makes no sense.

Put the BMW alongside the c350 and that's fair game.


At this point, bye Felicia.
