When you're stuck between two competent luxury sedans, it can certainly be tough to differentiate between the two and, ultimately, come to a final decision. Fortunately, our team at BMW of San Antonio is more than happy to make the case for a fantastic BMW 3 Series against its bitter rival - the Mercedes-Benz C Class. Both models strive to offer exceptional performance on top of premium luxury, but when push comes to shove the 3 Series manages to pull away and stand out amongst a crowded segment:
- One of the most immediate benefits to the BMW 3 Series is its lower starting price point of $33,150, much lower than the $38,950 of the Mercedes C Class
- While the base powertrains of both models offer a EPA-estimated 28 combined mpg, the 3 Series takes it a step further with the 330e plug-in hybrid that achieves over 70 MPGe.
- Those looking for impressive fuel efficiency in Mercedes C Class would be better off flocking to any BMW 3 Series model, as the powertrains of the latter consistently separate themselves from that of their Mercedes counterparts.
- New BMW models come with an included 4-year/50,000-miles of no-cost scheduled maintenance, as well as four-years of roadside assistance - a perk that can be matched by Mercedes-Benz
