So my trusty 320i f31 as come to the end of its 4 year full circle, and i'm in the market for a new wagon.

Its now down to two specific cars. A 2016 f31 330 with a complete m performance kit all over (everything you can get on it).
I have been told 78k is the price and thats it.

Or a c250 estate with all option packs ticked for 68k

Both cars are mid 2016 build, with 1500kms on them. The only difference is the the c250 will be treated as a new car and the bmw a dealer demo.

I drove the 330 today and it was fantastic, great noise and alot sharper then the 250.

So the question is, would it be crazy to spend an extra 10k for BMW given that its mainly aesthetics and i have been inside one for the last 4 years and i guess the main question, is that high price justified given its built jan 2016, losing 6 months warranty and only regoed till August 17.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated

cheers

Did you drive the Merc?

If so, you know the answer!

As my mate said when i was tossing up between the bimmer and Merc....you'll be happy with the Merc, but you'll always be asking yourself the question, should I have gone with the bimmer.

Drove the merc and was left underwhelmed.
Felt like my 320 tbh

Put it in neutral a few times as well

Having driven the sedan versions it comes down to a sporty drive or a luxury cruiser drive. Remember aesthetics you can change easy. If money is the decider, go the m sport and get all the after market m performance accessories later down the track. I got 335 remus exhaust and the whole m performance kit ( front diffuser, rear diffuser, side decal, side skirt extensions, black kidney grills, illuminated door sill )for less than 3g.
