discussion Some new editions

[Demontec]

Afternoon All,
Been ages since I've been active on the forum or had any updates.
Over the past few years I've chopped and changed cars, my current collection below

2014 Mercedes-Benz C250CDI Edition C (Obsidian Black)




2018 BMW 320i MSport Shadow Edition (Mineral Grey)





2014 BMW 125i Sportline (Alpine White III) Bought this as a project with a few mechanical and cosmetic issues
Turned out to be more than I bargained for but a challenge nonetheless.

Love the Merc!

Do you know how they compare to F30 320d's in terms of power?

 

[modocrat]

The W204 is a beaut.

I don't mean to burst your bubble bro, but I don't think your F30 is a Shadow edition 🤗
Still looks lovely tho.

Thanks man. On paper the Merc is faster but I am not sure hey, I've never raced a 320d but I have driven one and the 20d feels more aggressive on launch, very different power delivery to the Merc.

Thanks Bro! Thought the c180 would've been light on fuel

 

[jayaynikkal]

Stunning!

Especially the W204 (I'm obviously biased hehe). Looks so good in black!

I drove both.
The ZF is quicker on the 320d.
But that C250CDI kicks hard once on the move. 500Nm beats 400Nm.
From my experience with the BMW 20d motors, they run out of puff at higher speeds where their torque deficit over larger diesel motors (from other German/Swedish brands) is more aparent.
Granted, the C250 CDI is really a 2.1 litre motor, but a powerful one at that.

It only has a1.6 motor pulling a heavy body...

Not at all...C180 and C200 same engine, just the latter has more torque. Same scenario with E90 323 and 325...

C200 has a 1.8 if I’m not mistaken bro.

 

[MR_Y]

Correct.
There was a point in time when both C200 and C180 had the 1.8. There was an update, when the C180 got the 1.6, while the C200 kept the 1.8. Also, the C250 petrol shared the same 1.8 motor.



Seeing that the brand new C200 has a 1.5 motor, seems that Merc likes keeping things smaller on its petrol models.
