Seems to me BMW will be in trouble when the all new C class comes out...
Am not sure that's true. The C43 is still competitive only because of the updates made towards the end of 2018. I would argue that the original 362bhp C43 would not be competitive with the new M340, in power or technology. Mercedes did a nice job with those updates.

I would expect that BMW will also make some significant updates to the M340 throughout its life to keep it competitive with a new C43. Or maybe I should say that I hope that happens, rather than I expect it to happen!
I understand where you're coming from but for all intents and purposes LCI model or not it's a MY2014. I would have thought the all new 3er would have far surpassed previous gen C.

I have no experience with either so I'm just going off comments on comparing the two
