2006 BMW 325i Vs 2005 Mercedes Benz C240. by datigbogirl: 12:47pm On Oct 25, 2015 |
I'm actually confused on which ride to pick between these 2 cos they're around same price. I love the benz for it's durability and reliability and it's luxurious interior but I dislike it for it's bland exterior especially the "groundnut eye" appearance. I love the beemer 06 for it's masculine, bold & evil looking exterior, I also love it's thumbstart which is absent in the 05 benz and it's spaciousness. I also love the fact that it's uncommon like the benz but I dislike the interior which looks dull and plastic to me and even the steering doesn't look as premium as the benz. I've also heard that it's a fantastic sports car but after years of use it can't hold it's own unlike the benz which still keeps it's shoulders high even though it might not be as sporty as the beemer initially. These are my views so far but I'll like to know what y'all think! |

The groundnut eye may be common, but rugged to the core.Its sporty aswell,esp if you have the c240,heavy,but starts slow and finishes well in terms of speed.its a V6 with 12 plugs.what more do u want? I have never used a Bavarian car,but I know one sure thing, benz would be a bit easier for u to maintain, and also their engines are designed to work good,even on high mileage, you just have to be constantly maintaining it. |

I'd say go for the Benz. Even tho I personally prefer the Beemer, I have a colleague and a friend who both used that 3 series. 325 to be precise. Their stories were not joyful considering both are diehard BMW enthusiasts and upgraded from previous model 325. In fact, their experience drove me from a 5" of similar year. |

O datigbogirl:If yhu can do the 07 of the Benz, yhu may be lucky to get thumb start and navigation as standard. Dunno which trim or engine displacement such options fall in tho. |

ataspray:Young man, read properly before commenting. Thumb start and navigation ARE dependent on Engine Displacement and Trim levels which I pointed out. 1 Like |

In a fair and just world, all BMW owners would be arrested on sight, and placed on trial for FAILURE TO DRIVE A MERCEDES, after which those duly convicted will be deported STRAIGHT to the infamous Sambisa Forest, where they will be required to serve the Nigerian Army as a sand-bag filling SLAVE, for seven years of hard labor without pay. Thank you for your cooperation, and God bless Nigeria. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Sir, a 2005 c240 will be a very good buy for you, stability, durability,comfortability,flexibility are some of its very humble attributes ,just a 10km test drive will be all you need to convince you , the parts are very available but a little pricey but it's worth it I must say. If possible go for the nor 4matic the parts are cheaper than the 4matic,good luck on your purchase boss. |
