[QUOTE="E46Fanatic, post: 328327, member: 81"] Both cars are lovely cars. It just depends on where your preferences are. The Merc more subdued, while the E90 more raw. For some, the rawness gets tiring, for some the subduedness gets boring. For me, I think the W204 is nice esp in 230 V6 Avantgarde guise and in white :top:. But having tasted the 230 V6, I find its refined but lacks in low end punch and excitement in the high revs. Overtime I might just get bored with it, which is the same problem I have with Camcords.. The E90 is much less boring for my taste. Maybe in 10 years time, when my butt is more sensitive, reflexes slower, and less adrenalin flowing in my blood I'll find the Merc to be towards my preferences. In the mean time, I'll keep a look out for W204 230 V6's (and Audi B8 1.8T's) on the road to see if they are gung ho to have a little friendly comparison. Still quite rare. At least its all done with the Lexus IS250 :wink: [/QUOTE]
