C-Class vs. 3 Series: Luxury Features

Luxury is a staple of both the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class — both inside and out. Both offer amenities like a pre-collision system, a rearview camera, LED headlights, and power front seats. That doesn’t mean they’re on equal standing, however. Unlike the BMW 3 Series, the C-Class offers the following:

• ATTENTION ASSIST®: This system learns your driving behaviors over time and can alert you when it senses driver fatigue.
• Optional 64-Color LED Ambient Lighting: Customize the cabin to suit your mood with 64 driver-selectable color options for the LED interior lighting system.
• Optional Car-to-X-Communication: If you stumble across bad weather or a traffic jam around East Greenwich, this system lets you alert other C-Class drivers in the area.
