BMW doesn't have to beat them but they have to be at least on par. Yes I know the 3-Series is more sport/luxury and the C-Class is luxury now (previously luxury/sport) but I went to the Mercedes dealership to check out the W205 C-Class and it's laughable how the interior of the 3-Series is not even in the same league.
The new platform is supposed to reduce weight (and costs if you're a bean counter) by allowing BMW to modulate it according to the car they're building.
