That's not going to feel as punchy and smooth under acceleration as our 2497cc 6-pot with 218hp and 6-speed, although it's perfectly adequate for smooth highway cruising.The higher capacity W204s are a credible challenge to the E90s, especially in looks and prestige. Then it becomes a branding choice. Is one a BMW or Merc person?  On that level, a nice choice to make. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
