I’ve been shopping both the C43 sedan and the m340i. The bmw leases cheaper. The C43 is more fun to drive with a nicer interior in my opinion, which is very subjective. It’s like Mercedes doesn’t want to sell cars because there are very few C43 sedans even on the lots at all. Lots of coupes although I never see those on the road and they lease terribly.
I sure loved my old C43 though (actually it was a C450, same thing cheaper lease)
These are great cars, but considering how they lease compared to their competitors, you really really have to want this particular model to sign on it.
The C-class benz is great if you like acres of gloss black piano trim and squeaky/rattling center consoles. But I’ve also never been much of a fan of this generation of the c-lass benz
