Definitely go for the C230K... a friend at work has a 318i and my car car beats it hands down... interior quality, styling, power... and I am not biased... I like Bimmers too... but my Merc is just better.

Hey what's up '91 300CE....................
A guy at my work owns a C230k & the thing is like a bullet. I love it...
I kind-of miss my 1998 c230. I miss the gas mileage...lol..............My C36 is a pig
on gas...............
Yeah definitely fun to drive... I can only imagine how the C36 is on gas... yikes... but really... the C230's are bullets and bullet proof pretty much... as long as they are maintained properly
