2014 BMW M235i vs 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG by MotorTrend

MotorTrend compares two fast, small German cars: the brand new BMW M235i and the Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG. Mercedes and BMW have had small car rivalries like this in the past, most notably the Benz’s 190E 2.3-16 versus Bimmer’s E30 M3. Fast forward three decades, and times have changed. Forget natural aspiration, as turbocharging rules the day. The CLA45’s engine is even mounted sideways in a complete departure from Mercedes’ tradition. Racecar driver Randy Pobst find out which of these two is the best. Watch and enjoy!
