Objective Advice Needed. 2013 BMW 328i/335i Or C300. by HighBK: 6:32am On Aug 26, 2016
Hi all,

I am trying to get a BMW, and I am surprised that i don't see them that much at dealerships and even online (nairaland, cheki, olx). However, I see Benz c300 (Mercedez Benz generally) with almost every dealer. Same thing applies on the road.

Is there a reason why Benz seems to be more acceptable than BMW? Are there peculiar issues with BMW that people are trying to avoid? Is the maintenance cost and technical know how of BMW a challenge?

Even on nairaland, we have more Benz for sales, more Benz threads, and more Benz guides.

Kindly advise.

Are you trying to Insult benz? BMW is a woeful failure and repairs are difficult. Unless u stay in the usa, Canada or Europe.

If you have enough money to be replacing C300's EIS/ESL module every 6 months, then you should go for the Benz. grin cheesy grin

i will advice you to go ahead and buy your BMW. no regrets. i bought a 2012 BMW x3 xdrive28i last december. The X3 is basically a 3series on steroids. i agree there are limited options in the market for BMW enthusiasts especially recent years, i had to go to cotonou to get mine after months of searching in lagos.

BMW maintenance and reliability is at par with benz which are both more reliable than the other german carmaker audi/volkswagen. hit me up for any further enquiries. i'd be glad to welcome you to the exclusive club.

OP, I don't o2n a beemer, but I sure envy that machine whenever I see them around, especially the saloon. They are just small but mighty.
