Rep Power: 0 if you are getting a benz, get something above a c-class. my friend used to work for a benz dealership, and he said the quality on the c-class sucks.
i like 330 out of your choices 'cause its not too big and have decent performance parts for it. 530 does too, but its heavy and uses the same engine as 330, altho. it has more luxury. depends on what u like tho.

BMW is nowhere near the pinnacle of quality, but it's much better than Daimler-Chrysler. I'd personally go with the 3 series... while it's still Bangle-free. Also, I have yet to hear from a fan of i-drive. I wouldn't personally know how it is, but do you really wanna worry about your mom's safety while driving and trying how to figure out how to change the damn cd. Just a thought.
Titanium Metallic. You got a problem with that?

Rep Power: 352 The 5-series I-drive is better than its version in the 7-series, but thats cuz the 7-series takes a degree in nuclear science to operate. I would also take the 330 over the C320 due to numerous complaints on the C. I also like the styling of the 330 over the C.
So: 330xi!!! AWD sedan ownz ur a$$

Rep Power: 0 Well, having a benz AND a bmw in the family...dont go with any of them. for those of you who are saying benz is crap...bmw is NO different. Consumer Reports rates merc, bmw as poor cars, and they dont recommend buying them for first time lux class buyers.
your best bet...get a lexus or an audi, better quality, higher rated, gonna last alot longer
