is the C400 faster then the 335i?
it has more power then the 335i.
is it faster? stock vs stock no PPK

I think they are both quoted at 5.5s for the spring to 100kph / 62mph.

435i gran coupe faster at 5.2s

And how would the GC be rated any faster than the 335i?

Dan_335i · 10-14-2014, 11:49 PM

Are you guys sure? The c400 is rated at 0-100kph in 5.2 seconds

floydarogers · 10-15-2014, 12:33 AM

The November Car & Driver had a test of an automatic 4matic C400. It did 0-60 mph in 4.7s, and the 1/4 mile in 13.3 @ 107. Those numbers are virtually identical to a 335i.

My bad, misread the C400 time. It is indeed 5.2s as an official figure.

Official figures, don't ask me; ask BMW.

Tommy_hf · 10-15-2014, 03:57 AM

The GC is slower than the 3 due to its weight disadvantage

real life tests show GC a tad slower but you have 428 anyway

u have unique looks though

spuntyb · 10-15-2014, 06:44 AM

I think this is one of those situations where they're close enough in testing that driver experience probably plays a factor too. I imagine in real-world driving, you wouldn't be able to tell a difference.

Haven't driven the C400 though, so I can't say for sure...

RoundelM3 · 10-15-2014, 07:20 AM

I think this is one of those situations where anyone older than 21 shouldn't really care...

alienranch · 10-15-2014, 08:58 AM

I think it's fair to call it a drivers race at this point.

0-60 is overrated.

I care about 30-70, for when getting on the highway!

Yea.. Why is everyone worried about this. This sounds like: a Mustang v Camaro thread.

I agree, so we will just leave it at Mustang and be done with it!

crono06 · 10-15-2014, 01:27 PM

To add to this, I don't think many C class drivers care about 0-60.

Very similar stock vs stock in terms of straight line.

sr5959 · 10-15-2014, 04:45 PM

I saw a new C400 (parked) last night, looked really good. This surprised me as I was in London recently saw many new Cs on the road and wasn't that impressed...

Is this a car which really needs the rights spec/wheels etc to look good?

I've driven the C400. I wasn't really impressed with anything about the car. For what it is it wasn't horrible but the design was too busy and overly done. I hated the gauge pods for an instrument cluster. The interior was the biggest letdown with the cheapest materials beingused.
