I’m currently looking between these two as part of my options for when I change my car next year.
I’ve seen a few comments where people have said the C43 is more aggressive with a better sound whereas the Beamer is a bit more restrained.
Having experienced the AMGs at Mercedes Benz World last week as part of a corporate day, I can certainly vouch for the soundtrack - you almost don’t need a stereo system!

Several reasons:
- The C43 has a harsher ride (according to reviews). I wanted something fast but at the same time with decent levels of comfort to use daily.
- The C43, although its been face-lifted, is still based on an old platform that should be replaced in a couple of years.
- The overall reliability of the C class is not very good.
- Personally, got a very good deal on the BMW!
If its just going to be a weekend car, definitely consider the C43 (agreed the soundtrack is something else), but if you are after a daily commuter that can occasionally provide a bit of fun, go for the M340i in my opinion.
