QUOTE(mois @ Feb 27 2017, 05:53 PM) Exclusive model is 15mm higher. So actually more comfortable but wont feel sporty as avantgarde. Avantgarde rim very ugly. Exclusive got extra sunroof, better rim, stitched dashboard. Serious? C200 got sun roof now? I thought only c250 and above get sunroof! Lol...each on its on! I can't stand the emblem sticking out on the top of the bonnet! But you are rite, I need to do a zig zag when crossing over a road bump! If I am not mistaken, only the c 250 and above is much lowered in ht! Don't think there is a difference in the c200 !

C200 exclusive got comfort suspension package stuff. This post has been edited by mois: Mar 2 2017, 10:24 PM

QUOTE(stalkerrox @ Mar 2 2017, 08:31 PM) You must remember also BMW resell value is very very bad nowadays.. also u cant say more powerful cause its a much heavier car.. i tested the 330E really nice for the price very highly spec'd but u really can feel the weight of the battery when u are driving it hard I test drove the 330e M sport and honestly I cannot notice the extra weight. I even made high speed cornering at 85kmh around a bend, maybe because it's the m sport version that's why. Even with the extra weight, 252 bhps and 450nm still makes the car go from 0-100 in 6.1s compared to the C200's 7.3s. I don't really care about resell value that much honestly, because I'll probably be keeping the car for at leasy 7~10 years. By the time the residual price is probably so bad it won't make a difference BMW or Merc.

Totally different leauge!No doubt the BMW's torque is impressive ! BMW 's power + mercs's interior= perfect match!

hey guys,planning to get a w205 soon, just wondering if there are any problems or issues with the w205 that i should be aware of, for example like the f30 issues with rusted seat rails.
still contemplating on which variant to go for, or maybe i should just wait for the facelift.

If other countries esp US/Germany haven't even launched yet when will it reach our market?

Engine not sure A salesperson at C&C Federal told me that the current 7G is out of stock as they're prepping for the new 9G engine which will be available in 3 months time. Asked if there will be any facelift on the design she said no though. Only change is from 7G to 9G

Hye guys, i am an owner of w212 e class facelift amg. i wanna ask regarding chrome strip at the front skirting and its overall ground clearance. I believe its almost the same set up as the new c class amg variant. My car always scratch it's underneath (middle) when going on a speed bumps. Never had it with my previous cars. Is amg variant too low? Very irritating larr. Btw i never scratch the front chrome strip so far. if i were to accidentally scratch it one day, wheres an affordable place to replace or even repair it?

Grey imports are coming in. My SA got 1 unit C200 AMG line japan spec 2014 going for RM235k. After discount RM218k. Worth it? Local avantgarde cant match the amg line spec.

Quick question, would it void the warranty if i were to use after market springs and upgrade my rims from 17 to 18inch?
Would other cosmetic changes void the warranty?
Is there a way to get the hands free entry for the c200 avant?
