Tq for the corrections. I do not have any experience with M270/271,am learning as much as I can about the M271 as I am keen on the E250 coupe. Please tell me are there any reliability issues ? I am looking at a 2010 model!

2010 models are 5spd gb, the 2012 models come with 7spd gb, but cost 50K more,keeping with the same 1.8L engine.
, leaving aside the 2L engine. Is it worth paying the extra $. Tq!

Give u a like!

Hahaha this is exactly like the BMW forums. I didn't know MB community are similarly so heh.

So far what I have learnt from them is, well example:

a Non-M F30 3 series with the M-Sport bodykit+M-Performance aero kit = Acceptable cause it's as intended. Sometimes it's borderline RICER when there are too much aftermarket stuffs.

This is exactly like the AMG sports package for their regular car, it is just the manufacturer trying to milk some money from their popular racing/performance division. And why not? Customers likes them anyway so they are just doing a very good marketing. The AMG badges/kits does look sweet on a regular MB car! Do they deserve the AMG or M tagline? Certainly so, as the parts are indeed designed by the AMG or M. Just not the car itself. lol

a Non-M F30 3 series with the M3 Bodykit = Immediately categorised as Poser (Does this count as ah beng?) Similar as above? Converting a non AMG car into an AMG?

a Non-M F30, no matter with what exterior mod, a M/M3/M4 badge is at the trunk lid = OMGLULZ POSER. Well, I guess there are just people like to slap whatever badges they could find on their car.

Personally, anything OEM that is INTENDED for a particular car is fine. But as soon as you slap something on it that isn't meant to, that's too much for me and probably a lot of other car lovers out there. But then again theirs car, so nothing to do with me. Just felt pitiful for the car itself.

dafuq...same as preve!

and i thought i saved by buying proton...

what do u say about below?

M271(Non cgi) Due to design and material problem, the gears will makan.
M271(CGI version) Improved, this time wont makan. But will make a rough sound on start, and causes hard to start at times.
M272 (CGI or not) Balancer shaft makan. Engine power lost, rough idling.

TLDR:All new engines have problems. M272 is cheaper to maintain(on engine side), but it will come with 7g which you dont want.

Imo, just buy any turbo charged 4 cylinder with the 5 speed, then can go vroom vroom liao. *Since now they got repair kits for the turbo white smoke issue.*


All car makes will be problematic. depends on your luck. The new W222 is already visiting MB for malfunctions here and there.

just dont challenge a focus ST

eh eh eh...jangan begitu.
proton transmission part rosak, you get it fixed with rm2k.
mb/bmw transmission part rosak, you get it partial fixed with rm4k+.
mb/bmw got engines issues. Proton none.

kena see ini macam.
Lastly all naik basikal d.

Focus ST that good?

250 hp through a manual 6 speeder.

i would say yes

Hi i would like to advice not buying this car. the back seater is really bumpy during rides.

and the pick up of the car is not there.

bai.

u graduated from university of lowyat?? or copy paste from website?

by the way, the turbo version, u mean for maseli?

graduated here.
silently follow the threads.

yeap, merc. so gain. much economy. very smooth. such powerful

seriously, i thought the MOD will come to explain, the AHBENG things,

he just pretend dont know and move on..

pity

what mod?wat ahbengs?
its not called ahbengs mod ok!!!!
its called "RETROFIT"!!!!

people on the side of things here just want to mind our own business with our stock car. yet for some reason those spoilered/bodykit folks somehow still tend to pester over

i just baffle at how a huge majority of people misses the entire point of the car.

and it is interesting how the original 86 being so hyped up (i guess can owe it to initial d rofl) despite being an even worse/even more under powered car lol.

fake inspira and real inspira

i see..
so the most reliable car in the world is mercedes?
