The new M271 engine comes in four versions, and all are 1.8's. One is a direct injection engine, which is not sold in North America because of the sulphur content of our gas. There are three versions of the Konpressor engine, C180, C200 and C230. The only difference between these engines is their state of tune. They have different boost pressures, and software. The old names for the M111 engines were retained for the new engine of comparable hp to its predecessor. The old and new C200's both have about 160 hp, and both versions of the 230 have about 190.
I believe MB is more dedicated to the coupe than BMW was with theirs. One of BMW's problems was that too much was removed from the car. For example, they used a cheap and inferior suspenison as compared to the one used on the sedan. MB did not remove as much content from the coupe as BMW did.
