[QUOTE="infinityKL, post: 289560, member: 5054"] E36 vs W202 Although my car models are not exact for the above to compare, just some thoughts to consider... I own both, W202 C200 & E36 328i...Having both the cars for about 4-5 years now. Both marque's are good in their own way. I drive both cars regularly and there is no doubt when it comes to maintainance the MB has been much cheaper than my BMW. (based on repairs and service bills, take note that bills could be cheaper due to my MB is 4 potter). Reliability, I will say both are on the same line. But when it comes to looks, hard driving, fun etc...BMW will be my choice compared to the price we are paying for both the cars. The MB is way more comfort and handles better in sharp bends at high speeds, Feel more safe. Cabin is very very quiet compared to the BMW. Other than that, i find the MB's engine is less responsive...The drving experience totally different, The MB is more of a highway cruiser. The bimmer's are made fierce and to roar on the roads, more playfull... For ur case : I will surely go for the 325 as you are getting the full package, power, torque, looks etc. fuel consumption is not bad too.. If you want the same kinda power from a W203, you will have to go for bigger CC and thats gonna blow ur budget wt a MB. You can get some info about MB here: [url]www.mybenz.org[/url] good luck wt ur choice...cheers:top: [/QUOTE]
