both are good cars but different feel. F30 interior is ridiculously plain jane boring for such a car. Then again, it is a BMW and they've been doing that for who knows how long. W205 interior is impressive in its price range. Regarding CKD quality, people complain all the time. Even if you watch reviews overseas, their CBU cars sometimes have rattling noises and other issues as well. Regarding which company builds the best CKD cars, I reckon it is Volvo and Mercedes. BMW has had their quality problems for a long time not only for CKD cars. Perhaps wait for new Audi A4 B9?

so long story short,..the audi a4 b9 tops it all? never even cross my mind about audi segment as the design is boring and poorest rv compared to all ..hmm

it really depends on personal tastes. c class will be the safe choice if you are looking for the best resale value. BMW resale value is worse than merc but the 5 year maintenance is really attractive. audi is the outside choice, interior is very avantgarde but exterior very conservative. it will be the newest car among the 3 though.

by the way, news just came in today. 306 hp!
