Amongst the 3, BMW has the shittiest support. You go to their 3S is like going to Proton 3S. My choice is Volvo which have improved their support in the last few years by leaps and bounds. As regards to hybrid, once you have it, you will not want go back to pure ICE. It is also a safe midway to full EV.

First 1 or 2 years for sekenhen is liddat one lar, a lot to zhap.

xc60 - too many tech and hybrid conti usually cost bomb to repair bmw x3 - never drive glc - i driven w205 C200 & currently owned w213 E200, both using m274 engine which very reliable. so fast i just change oil and some wear and tear. This also explain why so many C w205 on the road. I think Glc 200 & 250 is using the same m274. Try to avoid 48V EQ boost, to me is unreliable.

QUOTE(NothinUnusual @ Apr 5 2023, 03:31 PM) No leh, my current car also got ADAS but I don't find it useful. It's just that I banyak takut kereta masuk kilang then very sien. So you can also say "Aiya TS takut kereta rosak when bother to buy conti, buy Toyota je"...but u know la...dream ma to own a conti car. You buy what not for me to judge la, not spending my money. If you dream of conti, go get BMW la. Volvo's badge not conti enough. But personally, i'll go for XC60, simple and nice car with amazing speaker. GLC interior ... i see already OMG, long overdue for new version already. BMW not familar nth to comment.

Just looking for opinions in terms of repair cost haha

A simple drivetrain would be better than a complex one
Merc or BMW
When the Volvo drivetrain gets sick, you are in trouble
BMW interiors are quite boring, if you’ve owned one. But, if not, it’s fine
GLC is the nicest outside. Volvo is the nicest inside But the x3 has the best drivetrain

I dont know how reliable Merc and Volvo punya drivetrain is  I know BMW punya B48 and ZF is quite reliable.

Maybe send to service center let them zap since ada warranty? I have owned all 3 brands before. Not to put down any brand, for some, I will never go back to them again. But don't take my word for it. Just pop into any of the 3S and you should be able to feel the difference right away. It comes with the culture.
