My car lease is expired and I am shopping for a new one. Money aside, which is a better car? The 2008 Mercedes C300 or the 2008 BMW 3.28i coupe? They are different makes and models but I need help deciding and would like educated opinions on these cars.
Finances are irrelevant because the cars will cost me about the same. I would like honest, intelligent ideas on which car is better regarding their drive %26amp; look.
About me, I am a 27 yr professional living in San Diego. I own an internet marketing agency. I am looking for a car that projects the image of a successful entrepreneur.
Pictures of the cars in desired colors:

Finally, a comparison of the car's features:

and definitely consider the Lexus IS 350! Excellent car

(all of these cars are around the same price range)|||the Mercedes is a four door which is good if you take others with you any where, (entertaining clients) where as the BMW coupe is only two door which would make getting people in and out more difficult.
other wise rent each for a week to test drive to see how you like the ride and handling.
personally the BMW looks great but the ease of the four doors appeals to my because I'm older and take more people with me when I go some where|||That depends on what kind of driver you are. If you are the type of person who enjoys driving, then the BMW is your car. The 328's suspension is more firm than the C300. You feel more connect to the road in the BMW. If you prefer a sportier ride, go BMW. If you prefer to have a smoother riding car, go Merc.|||Drive both and you will immediately buy the BMW. Although they benz is nice, it cannot come close to the BMW.|||if money isnt an issue forget them both they are both entry level and way to many around to set you apart from the crowd.
look at the Lexus IS-F

oh and also the pic you gave for the Benz isnt a C300 its a C63 AMG.....Amazing car with tons of power but very hard to find and a very high premium over a C300
