Honestly, in terms of maintenance, if you are buying both the cars new (I assume you mean the F30 316i), the BMW comes with BSRI which gives you free maintenance of up to 60,000km. That means whenever it is time for service all you need is to bring your car in and collect it back for free. No payment. Within the 60,000km, on average the usual F30 owner might get around 3 services. So technically the BMW wins over the MB because of the BSRI package.

Now after the BSRI package, maintenance is relatively similar because at the end of the day, you only mention maintenance and changing the engine oil, fluids, fuel filter is relatively cheap outside for both marques. Both marques have plenty of stockists so maintenance wise, if you do it outside of the service center, it is quite similar.

When it comes to repairs, then the topic is relatively subjective.

Thanks for the answer sir. smile.gif. I used a wrong word. I should use repair interm of maintain. smile.gif.

How is the cost of parts of BMW 318i compare to MB C180 espcially those part that we have to change after 40k km or 100k km, etc such as break pad, etc.

By the way, I am talking about used BMW 318i and used MB C180 Year 2008-2010 range which suit my budget. Thanks!

Guys,

I am about to buy a zero milage pre reg 530e M Sport. If I buy, what are my entitlement normally?

BMW White Card? Pre Reg car also can get this?

Charging cable. Is it the same as the Fast charging cable if using 3 pin home plug? Or theres only 1 cable type for this home cahrging?

If I charge outside, need to buy cable? Or the cable is provided at the charging station? Dont really notice on this.

Just curious,
Isn’t it so leceh , to have to charge the car and what not ?

Haha. No idea. Never try and about to try.

Since I am staying in landed house, ready 3 pin plug at the porch, so to plug it to the socket is just less than a minute work daily. So I did not see it as burden. At least for now. After sometime I do not know. tongue.gif

It will be hassle when outstation but the car is fine if no charge for days. Hopefully more hotels and malls or parking areas have the charger in the future.
