Usually, beemers are sportier compared to benz but benz interior always more hnngh

Beemers tend to be more sensitive on sensors , hence more issues but the handling is much better compared to benz.

Benz tends to give less issues, esp on mechanical & electronics.

Pick you choose.

I myself is driving a E46, handling tarpau most JDM's & local cars.

Maintenance wise, get ready some spare cash anytime .........
