Front: E92 pre lci>C>e92 lci
the rest e92>C

I really like the front and the interior, but that's about it. I'm not to crazy about the e92 LCI front bumper and kink in the headlight. I think the pre-LCI looked better imho

+92

BTW the comparison is not fair . . . Should compare the C-Coupe coupe with AMG kit & BMW E92 with M pack.

MazdaFan · 02-13-2011, 12:54 AM

The revised C-Class interior is nice, other than that BMW is way better car.

Wolf · 02-13-2011, 01:03 AM

the seats look like a penguin and it does look like the accord coupe lol. but the front is more aggressive than the bmw

that front is LEGITTT but yeahhh the rest needs work.

ArabianSensation · 02-13-2011, 02:27 AM

Benz looks very aggressive. A good look for a coupe. But I like the relaxed look of the E92 LCI, while it still looks very sporty and aggressive. Personally would take E92 pre-LCI over both of these though.

First problem:

henry418 · 02-13-2011, 02:40 AM

E92 LCI without M-Sport is too ugly to even compete..

C-class interior blows away the e92 interior, but that's always been the tradition of BMW. Plain but functional interior.

The new merc interior looks nice, until you sit in it (only been in a mom-coupe). It's mostly plastic and rubber where as our 3'ers have quite a bit of leather on the door panels and arm rests. Maybe I'm just biased, but for all that money the merc interior just felt a little cheap.

ooahomestar · 02-13-2011, 02:50 AM

Lol f'ing auto correct that was supposed to say "only been in a c-sedan"

whn · 02-13-2011, 03:31 AM

To make comparison fair bictures taken from E92 LCI should be with M-Sport kit since pic's taken from C-coupe are with AMG-sport kit. Just my 2 cents.

John_01 · 02-13-2011, 03:58 AM

C-class is ok except: The tail lights don't belong on a sports coupe & LED light strips are so gay.

nockenpaul · 02-13-2011, 04:25 AM

I think the interior of the refreshed C-Class looks much better than the interior of the 3 series. I also like the front, but the sideview and the rear is not as good as the E92, IMO.

EDIT: Ohhh, I just noticed that the C Coupe's doors have window frames. A coupe needs frameless doors!

M3 sales were suffering, so they had to dumb down the e92 3ers. Brilliant move actually.

manicm · 02-13-2011, 06:46 AM

The new C looks great apart from the back - it's like the saloon and completetly disappointing.

Shakal · 02-13-2011, 06:49 AM

Despite I don't like E92 LCI's front, I would still take it over C COupe.

My choice: E92 > E92 LCI > C Coupe

That's not the AMG kit but the standard bumpers/trim for the C-coupe.
