For conti, merc definitely better.

BMW, 不说在修车,就是在修车的路上

如果您的宝马没有漏油,没有漏水,您的宝马一定是假宝马

传修宝马的明哥
Which merc model more reliable?
E class, c class?

How about those CLA, GLA, GLB?

get a BYD EV… cheap cheap full of tech.. 10 year warranty. No maintenance required :)
EV is good if you stay landed.

Otherwise there are some inconveniences and lifestyle changes just to accommodate the car.

Don’t know should I buy new car or second hand car.
Buy 2nd hand cat depends on luck. If u got car mech fren can ask him help u
I bought my 1st 2nd hand Getz manual gear, 5 years nth wrong
2nd nissan latio, tons of probs, shop a bit cheating, spend me over 5k chg.sianz
3rd car left 3 yrs, so far ok except front shaft crack, coolant pipe leak, overall chg less than $700.
Of cos 10k km svc is a muz lah
So 2nd hand is dependent on luck
Gd luck

烧机油 — 气门油封老化
漏水 — 进水管老化
漏油 — 胶套硬化

维修宝马,一定要用原产配件。千万不要用小猫牌配件。
