Bottomline The 2008 BMW 3-Series sedan has the best overall driving experience in its class and remains the gold standard among mid-size sport sedans. The new CTS can keep up with Mercedes and BMW competitors without mimicking them, and boasts some of the top tech features in its class. More sport, more luxury, and more features for the money make the new 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class a more attractive possibility.
