    Coupe vs Saloon

    My friend got a new E220 CDI Saloon and having driven it, I find it not as quick and responsive as my E220 CDI Coupe. My question is are these cars tuned differently. In sport mode my coupe bellows when you accelerate hard where as the saloon is more refined. They both have the same bhp
