BMW has 5 years maintenance included. But after this expires as it is more expensive to maintain than a Merc. The CKD BMWs are noted for poor built quality giving problems associated more with Protons than a luxury car. I would go for the W205 as a better built car.

Yes, intentionally misstating the year. Usually +1 year to the date of manufacture. When callers ask, "Oh....it's a mistake!"
