I hate that plastic fake wood trim BMW and Audi still use! Glad Merc don't seem to use it anymore.

How did you find the 6 speed auto? Interestingly, it's actually a GM box! Built in France.

You seem to like luxury rather than performance/handling ... I'll take performance/handling over luxury!

Hmm, I'd say the C300 had more headroom, but both were comparable in terms of legroom.

I liked the 6-speed auto, no big complaints.

I prefer luxury equally to performance/handling; performance/handling alone is insufficient to trump luxury. For a car that costs $40K, it better have a luxurious interior. I think BMW has finally recognized that, as the 6th generation, 2012 3-series has a much improved interior.
