For those not much into driving dynamics, the C250 IMO not only is a more comfortable car, but a better looking sporty sedan. For me to accept the F30 look, I will have to wait for the M package.
The C250 Sport looks right without any sport or appearance options.

First, you have to factor in the price/value of the free maint. when comparing price. MB charges around $1,700 for 4 years of service and it is not as inclusive as what BMW offers.
Second, after driving both the 328 and C250 Sport, I agree that the C250 does ride and handle better....to a point. It should as it has a more advanced suspension but the inability to completely turn of the stability control seriously cuts into the fun factor. Add to that the superior engine/transmission in the BMW and it wins the sporty/fun factor hands down.
Also, I wouldn't say the MB is more comfortable because I found the BMW seats to be much better and the interior much roomier.
Looks are subjective. They both look nice.
