This is quite true. However anyone that does like to drive aggressively will be disappointed in the C250. The steering is far to light and communicates little. It's an electrical unit like the 328i but it's quite devoid of road feel. The ride in the C250 is great, but the focus is on smoothness and comfort, not driver feedback. In general, the car lacks much serious driver feedback and hence there is just not much emotional involvement for me at least. Ultimately the cars are aimed at two different types of drivers. The MB is realistically a much better deal. Out the door and almost identically optioned the MB was over $10K less with dealer discounts. BMW dealers were not discounting at all and so I ended up with the MB as my daily driver.
