Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the BMW 430 Gran Coupe than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the BMW 430 Gran Coupe and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class in the front seats.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the BMW 430 Gran Coupe as you will with the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the BMW 430 Gran Coupe will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Dimensions
Since the BMW 430 Gran Coupe is much wider than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the BMW 430 Gran Coupe, which is slightly longer than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Handling
The BMW 430 Gran Coupe has a larger turning radius than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of horsepower, it's basically a tie between the BMW 430 Gran Coupe and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Powertrain
With its lower torque, the BMW 430 Gran Coupe doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Utility
The BMW 430 Gran Coupe offers greater seating capacity than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around.
