Seats are good...

 

I didn't especially like nor dislike the seating position on the C300 and the adjustment of the C300's seat was limited, I like the bottom cushion to be able to be tilted up.  The BMW had a better seat position, seat firmness, seat feeling, and non-invasive bolstering; plus I was able to adjust it the way I liked.  The C300's seat was aesthetically more attractive. 

The BMW did have a problem though, the hole between the steering wheel rim and the airbag wasn't quite big enough for me to see the entire instrument cluster.  I couldn't see the very top nor the very bottom of the instrument cluster.  So this was a very minor problem with my seating position on the BMW.  The C300 didn't have this issue. 

I would be happy with the C300's seating position, and it would work for me.

The BMW 328i is so good, that when I drive it on some twisty mountain roads, I often ask myself, how much better would a Porsche be. It's really just that good! But the interior is a bit of a let-down. The interior feels very basic, Germanic, and simple. ...
