Thnx for the feedback Doesnt german cars have longer service intrvals than japs? No mchn not for the permit. I heard about the F series but we cant say anythng about how much and when it will be here. if it comes to looks and handling and the thrills the BMW is way ahead than the merc. But older people prefer benz, i think mainly bcos its more comfortable.

Guys i need a big help... My dad has saved some money enough to buy a petrol german car. We are thinking of a MB C180 or a 3 series. We have inquried from the dealers and pricewise the Benz is a bit expensive than the bimmer and both provide good warranty period. My dad has test driven both cars and he says the benz was a bit comfortable than the bimmer. I need to get an idea about which of these makes is better in the following departments, since we have only had japanese cars before, and since there seems to be a lot of people in this forum who use cars produced by these 2 car makers. 1) Relaibility 2) Maintanece costs 3) Resale value I heard that BMWs give electrical problems very often. is this true? Also why is the numbr of new BMs very less than new Mercs on our roads today??? Since there seems to be a lot of people who own Benz or BMWs in this forum, i would really appreciate ur feedbak.
