Yeah. Same here.
I was looking at the AMG C43.....great car, but like you, I thought it lacked some of the tech that is present in the M340. I particularly loved the seats and rev counter in the HUD in the Merc. However, it was late in its model life, and I wanted an up-to-date car. I’m sure Merc will address some of the tech components in its next iteration (and will charge accordingly!). Overall, I thought the M340 offered a better priced alternative to the C43, and I thought it had the edge in performance over the Merc.
One other thing I noticed was that the fixed price serving on a 5 year plan was astronomical compared to BMW.
