Obojo

, and you think the BMW does not give wahala. I dont think you have ever used one.

OP,
Please test drive your options and choose based on your feelings and preferences. For me, it would be a benza anyday.

atouba i have used both. and if you understand English, you will know what more problematic means. I used a 2001 3series then a 2004 c240 and i tell you the benz is far more problematic, the BMW has cheap solutions to its problems , not the Benz, do you know wot the Eis in Benz is? Do you know if the ignition dosent accept the key you are stuck wherever it happens. You cant even remove the gear from park to push it and you may be blocking ten cars. Now the key having problems is a common occurrence in Benz. The only problem the BMW ever had was overheating and this was quickly solved with an extra fan. Stop bringing your speculative comments when someone is speaking from experience.

If you like the benz, Have the money to maintian it, Simple

obojo,

I made my comment based on experience,however, Iam not ready to descend so low as you by bringing personal insults to this topic. Its never my way. I dont get into uncessary vituperations over the internet with faceless interfaces.

OP,
I currently run a M Benz, 200 kompressor after selling my BMW 318(2002) and I will tell you to stick wiith the Benza. I hardly did a weekend without spending the whole saturday,sometimes the sunday too in the Mechanic workshop when i ran the Bimmer. To worsen it,there are very few mecos in Nigeria that understand the BMW complex injection system. The moment you have a bad fuel problem once, forget it sir,the bimmer is gone.

BMW would be my choice. Since Mercedes Benz production moved Stateside, the quality one would expect from a German car has dropped. It just isn't the same as it used to be.

Atouba, it seems your problems stem from lousy Nigerian "tinkerers", masquerading as engineers. Modern cars are built to very fine tolerances, and don't respond positively to being botched by butchers. Of course there are good mechanics in Nigeria, the issue is a lot of car users would rather pay Joe-In-A-Shed peanuts to fix their complex cars, than pay good money to a franchised dealer, or a decent independent specialist.

Nigeria will always be Nigeria, I guess.

what car exactly is a mbenz 200, kompressor ? ??

Apart from the fact that the c320 is much more electrical ,hence a lot of electrical problems, the bmw 325i comes with a 6cylinder engine with 6plugs while the c320 has a v6 engine with 12plugs,  . now tell me that is not a platform for potential problems,  Esp in this country we live in,  12  plugs,  Think of the servicing alone even if there are no problems.

Like i said if you can afford the maintenance, then buy it

That's where problems start with cars in Nigeria - poor maintenance culture.

Well, that doesn't make much of a complex engine.
