I've said this before and I'll say this again.....it's ALWAYS BMW vs Mercedes Benz.....

. And yes, the BMW 335i is the ultimate benchmark in this segment at the present time.
The W204 C350 can't possibly topple the 335i in terms of performance because it just doesn't have enough power. What I'm more interested to know eventually is whether this new active damping system will create a car which will challenge the 3 series in handling even more so than the facelifted W203.
The C-class historically has always been superior to the 3 series in comfort and refinement, so that won't really be an achievement.
