isnt that obvious? I mean, if BMW wants to build a comfortable and comfortable suspension to be just as good as a Mercedes they can build it but its not BMW path.

But we cant deny that MB said by themselves on the pressconfernece when the new C-class was presented, they said something about the new C-class to be a classleader in driving department (correct me if Im wrong, Cawimmer?).
We will see more tests and time will tell if its true.
