I steered my mother into a C350 from all of these three as well as the Lexus IS.
In hindsight given the way she drives I think the C350 is overkill (a C250 would have sufficed) but the extra oomph is always a delight on the highway. The Lexus is nice but the engines are meh, but BMW has too much plastic & the dealer is a complete arse, so the only real contender was the A4, by mum liked the C-class more so here we are today.
I don't think neither mum or I regret that decision; she still loves her MB today. Cost are unsurprisingly higher than our previous Nissan, but somehow cheaper than my old man's Mitsubishi. Go figure.

I've just sold my e90 and I've always thought it was the best in its class until I drove my sister in law's w204. at first I thought mercs don't really make any good cars. Blimey! I'm well impressed by the merc that I'd buy one right away if needed. So comfortable and nippy when you need to up the game. It's only done 78, 000 my bmw was well maintained with around the same mileage. 73, 000 plus if I can remember.

Depends what you want in your car. BMW is for the real drivers. Ford Mondeo gives similar thrills for a lot less money. Mercs are the best long distance traveller. So much more quieter and refined. Second hand values are very high because people tend to drive their mercs more carefully rather than race them like a BMW.

Have the Mercedes and it's a great car. I would buy the BMW, but I have had a lot of issues with the brand and I find it ugly. Perhaps I will get me the next gen BMW but the Merc is again much more appealing. :) I don't know why, but I dont find the AUDI interesting in any way.

BMW and Audi are great cars but Mercedes is the brand that all dictators have driven over the history. I don't care what people say. Merc has the best badge and biggest prestige. Always. Period.

We used 3 of this cars. And think audi a4 has the best look and best performance. It has the best acceleration than two others.
