OT: MB C320 vs. BMW 330i opinions?

Hello guys,

this is an off topic issue, but i would appreciate any kind of info on it.
basically my father has grown tired of our little diesel "monster" 3 series (excessive road&wind noise and firm ride due to sports suspension and wide low profile rubber, tin can feel compared to M5, etc) and wants to replace it with something automatic and plush like C class MB as a secondary car. he is pretty determined on MB, however it is a bit of a problem getting a test drive here from the dealer. we have read some reviews, but having a great confidence in my fellow members of the board, i ask your comments, especially if you have driven C320.
also, itd be great if you advised me on some realiable/quality websites containing car reviews online. i've already read edmunds.com.
please take into account that sportiness/agility/manual transm. are not priorities in this case at all, but comfort/sound insulation/engine&car longevity are.
thank you all in advance.

a friend had a C320 as a loaner while his other MB was in the shop (as it seems to always be, ) anyhow, I went along as a passenger. My thoughts- its a great car. Comfy, pretty good looking (except the rear, which like the rear of all new MBs seems just a little out of place), good materials and the car felt very solid and seemed to handle well and had very good pick-up.
