We might be the minority lol. I'm looking at cars that's priced at 250kish, so right now I'm considering the C200 Exclusive and 330e M sport since they are very similarly priced. Although the 330e M sport is much more powerful and higher spec, the C200 Exclusive just outshines the BMW's interior with it's super classy interior and build quality. Very hard to choose lol......

So in the end of the day it'll come down to price, I'll get whichever can give me the best deal.

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

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?
*
Cause it has a long wheel base.. my W205 also same
even my mums prius also like this always kena in the middle when over bump so be careful when going over it.. just go slow

Hi, just booked my first benz C350e, jumped from BMW. I have a few questions
1) Can we install apple CarPlay outside somewhere?
2) I'm not sure to go for coating or wrap, or neither?
3) Is there any remote app for Malaysia market to control our car?
Thanks

Navi Plus

Let's wait & hope Merce Malaysia will give this Apple carplay free to C class during firmware update. Btw, do they update the nav for free whenever we send the car to them for service? For BMW, I heard only Auto bavaria will update the map for free during service.
*
I asked that day they don't give Garmin updates from what they told me need to pay... I think get aftermarket unit with apple car play or Android auto better haha.. Garmin map sucks anyways..
I still prefer using my phone Google map... Most up to date on traffic

If changed to non run flat tyre, will you guys buy a space saver tyre?

Would the tyre sensor still work? and in case of tyre puncture what will happen
*
Yes they still work..

Those sensors are in the valve itself

I've got a C350e with AMG interior. Plan to look change and have the AMG exterior like a C250 AMG.

Anyone has any recommendations on which accessory shop to go to if I want to get that done? Don't need full original parts.

Has anyone done that before? How much would it be? If original is around RM5k to add-on to full AMG exterior, right?
*
you can try CT Motorsports in sunway..
good workmanship and resonable price..
if u wanna get AMG kit better go for the C63 kit much nicer and price also same

Any mercs servicing center should carry this brand! If not just go to spare parts shop to buy and get it done at workshop! You need to purchase the sensors as well !
*
Ohh really ? Okok I try ask and see 2morow..

Cause I asked before they only sell OEM ones and those AMG can't fit on stock C200 calipers

I found Pagid brand which is rm 200+ and sensor rm20+

unit but found that No SD card. Is it the navigation is a standard item included when car is sell to us? Thanks

Yes comes as standard but don't bother with the GPS totally useless. outdated and slow
Better off just using your phone much faster and convenient
