From here I can gather this:
BMW - drivetrain reliable but service center and support sucks
Volvo - drivetrain and electronic reliability is in question but everything else is superb
Mercs - good support and service center but reliability unknown
Service centre very ependent on their location .. some branch besar besar but the SC like shit .. takes awhile to find a reliable one .. once you find a good one and kawan kawan with the sales advisor then no problem ..
For me BMW X3 if you don't mind the slightly plain interior .. Drives great, performance won't lose out tooooo much from the volvo ..
Volvo is fast but not 460hp fast, their tuning is more for comfort. Also if you plan to keep it long term, i suggest not to take the volvo as the engine outside mechanic susah nak buat .. supercharged + turbocharged + electric drivetrain .. too complicated .. but if you have the ability to change it before the warranty ends then yes, go ahead and get the volvo ..
Another thing is the volvo FC will be slightly high and the fuel tank is small .. if your daily commute is less than 50km then you will enjoy the pure EV side of the volvo (Provided you rajin charge it daily) .. ooh and even brand new there's some creaks from the door panels (CKD quality) .. but overall great car
skip the merc due to the bad ride comfort and cramped interior
