Which should you import?

Both the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the BMW 3 Series are commonly cross-shopped by Sri Lankan buyers. The right pick depends on your priorities:

Lower entry price — the C-Class starts at LKR 32.5M, vs LKR 41.0M for the 3 Series.
Auction sheet matters more than the spec sheet. Whichever model you choose, target grade 4 or higher and have us decode the sheet for you before committing.
Real landed price varies more than CIF. The Sri Lanka tax stack can shift the comparison meaningfully — luxury thresholds, age surcharges and fuel-banded excise all matter. Get a personalised quote for both models against your spec.
