Default Re: Who's into their cars....

218, 220, 223 whatever, they are all 2 litre, not a 1.8, just BMW speak for different power output.
Test drive them. I've driven neither, but can imagine the BMW is more of a drivers car.

It depends which one you get, I've heard the 116 is terrible.

At the end of the day the car has got to be the right one for the job at hand, if all OP needs is a 2 door coupe, get the 118

Ditto. 3.0litre V6 Diesel. Fantastic car.

Bought mine used with <16k miles from the Jag dealer. They do PCP on their used cars. No brainer for me

Back to OP:
I suspect the BMW is better fuel-wise but I'd still go for the Merc.
