You didn’t mention the B58 BMW Engine. Probably the most reliable engine they have ever made. Along with the ZF transmission a potent, reliable combination.

[@ECPP]

Agreed I did not go there and I discuss the B58 in a previous video in my channel about BMW now having a reliable engine. There are some issues but they are the best in a long while

Have you seen the interior of the new S class? Even the new C class? Leaps beyond BMW as far as sense of occasion is concerned.

We had no issues aside from the sunshade on the Mercedes (under warranty) but the specter of questionable reliability always will hang over you once warranty ends. Both manufacturers have gone down in reliability and quality (so has VW and their products). Mercedes once a heavy, sturdy and reliable car. BMW, a disposable toy with little longevity. Lexus, Acura may not have the social status cache of Mercedes or BMW, but I like reliability in a luxury car.

[@burhaanshaikahmed3610]

Mercedes is my favorite especially the Era from '03 to '14, but in current times I'd go for the the BMW due to the fact the B58 being one of the more reliable engines available. Also BMW tends to be a tad more stronger on car crash tests such as iihs and NCAP.

[@michaelpoczynek]

I have owned BMWs for over 20 years and never had an issue with any of them other than really minor stuff that was out of BMWs control, ie. Spark Plugs were defective from Bosch, and a shifter that needed reprogramming. I have owned 3, 4 and 5 series cars.

[@ECPP]

[@gurnealsingh2012]

Now own Mercedes for the next 20 years

[@djzaki]

I currently own a 2013 Bmw e92 m3, 2022 Bmw x7 x drive40i, and a 2013 mercedes g63 amg. I think bmw is made for sport car enthusiasts, and mercedes is built for luxury. In my opinion, I think reliability is based more toward the specific year, model, and the owner of the vehicle. In short other than my x7 I wouldn't buy a non m bmw car. The standard 3 series, for whom I've owned several, aren't worth the maintenance costs. I wouldn't buy a standard mercedes either. I'd rather drive a lexus as a daily driver, which I own a 2012 lexus ct200h for my work commute. Toyota products lack luxury and sport, but is best for daily driving and won't ever leave you with any maintenance headaches. You can really drive lexus to the ground without remorse. In short S class > 7 series for luxury M > AMG for sport Lexus > Bmw/Mercedes for daily driver. If anyone is still reading lol I've owned my s65 e92 m3 for 6 years now. Not a single leak or issue. In stark contrast I've owned a 2012 x5m and it has left an unending bad taste in my mouth regarding all 4.4L twin turbo v8 bmws. My 2013 g63 amg has been a nightmare as well including leaking turbos. I think the m157 is a brilliant engine, but I feel like the previous owner possibly kept the car outdoors because I do have a rust problem under certain seals. If anyone wants a good German engine, go naturally aspirated and never buy the first release year of a refresh. I think Bmw straight six engines such as the b58 have proven to be fairly good, but still too new to tell if it's a true winner. I don't think I'll be buying any new mercedes because of their 4 cyclinder forced induction route they've taken. I am hesitant to even trust German electric cars. We owned a 2013 i3 as well and it always had a few hiccups.

[@Kryptic1046]

Lexus has had their issues too, although admittedly not nearly as many. But they certainly aren't maintenance-free, and even some Lexus models have been problematic, which is why they aren't at the top of reliability anymore. They currently sit at #7. Also, many would argue that most Lexus's aren't very fun to drive. They are clinical and boring in the driving experience. Reliability isn't really the top consideration for some buyers, especially luxury buyers.

[@dcruzaggie]

Lexus & 0 maintenance bill. I call BS 😂🤣

[@r107560sl]

If I were you I will simply tell the truth. BMW has only produced a few good cars including E30, E36, E34, and E46, all others are crap! Mercedes has produced a few bad cars including W220, W211, W209, W251, R170, W203, W164 and W168, all others are relatively good.

@@ECPP thanks- Benz GLS was very boaty and lofty feel. The 23 x7 is just more fun to drive, hugs the road, and also feels cushy and Lux. But it’s actually nicer suspension than GLS580, Plus the sports mode for the M trim is just plain fun! It takes off! And even makes that sports car sound!

I always loved BMW’s. As a kid I use to push BMW cars on the floor. My family owned BMW’s. I have an E60 I owned over 12 years and still loving it. I am looking for an X5 the 2018 model Sdrive 35i. I think that body style look better than the G05. I sat in the G05 it felt smaller than the F15. I was worried about the B engines hearing about cracked Heat Management Modules, oil filter housings pouring coolant , more plastic under the engine than the N55. It’s too soon for me to try a B engine, I hear a lot of good things about it, but those vehicles are still under warranty is the reason why we don’t hear the bad.

@ 0:12 This is why I only tune in here to watch because you have experience. Most on here judge the brands and models of cars without driving them. Or they own one for a while and judge the whole brand thinking they know it all. Then there's the shills, lol. They aren't honest about running costs. 🤷🏼‍♂ edit: nice Hugo boss shirt

Haha, thank you so much for the support. You are right, there are a lot of critics out there but my perspective comes from real world experiences and knowledge and throw the passion for the topics and we have a real winning combination

I’ve been lucky to score a 1989 Mercedes Benz 300CE, and I’ll tell you, for a 35 year old car, it’s still running sturdy. sure it has its issues, but they’re fixable so far and it wouldn’t have made it this far if it wasn’t built good. The problem with most of cars today, they’re not built to last 35 years anymore, 15 if you’re lucky.

When I purchased an ML350 I was filled with great anticipation of a great driving experience. I don't think I have driven a car which the handling impressed me greatly. After making a drive of 350km and stopping for a coffee my shock at coming back to find the battery wouldn't start the car was a shock. This happened over 5 times in as many months, each time no fault with the car was found. A new battery was installed each time (which they refused to warranty after 2 batteries. I was driving away with a $1,000 invoice each time with no resolve to the problem. The 6th time I got a boost drove, to the dealership when I explained what happened "We'll check it out!" My response was "No!" I'm driving of the lot with a different car! I drove off the lot with a 2012 Ford Escape which has been the least expensive car I've owned to date. 4 years on I have only installed new winter tires, a new battery and schedule oil and filter changes. I dread to think how many $,1000's it would have cost me to keep the Mercedes which to be honest was the least reliable/costliest car in over 50yrs of car ownership.

That’s how German cars are. They look cool and everyone shows off with it but owning it is a huge drain in your bank account. Unless you’re filthy rich and money is no problem, then owning one is no issue but even if I was rich, I’d be tight that I have to keep spending money on repairs and it wastes my times

[@TooMuchTimeOnMyHand]

I think someone was trying to point a green laser on you at the end of the video?

[@ECPP]

Haha, maybe

[@justicetheartist6386]

I don't know why the mercedes cars you've owned rusted or parts broking down , but not my mercedes I got a 2007 C180 Kompressor , and you'll not find a single scratch outside nor inside. The car depends on how you take care of it sir. If u take care of it , it will take care of u.

When your BMW goes in for service it get’s serviced and that’s it. When your Mercedes goes in it is checked against a spec sheet and database to ensure it should operate as a Mercedes should. Mercedes also make most of their own gearboxes and service them in-house. Sadly, the golden age of Mercedes has long gone when the most reliable engines and cars were made. It’s all cost cutting these days from the underpowered amplifier in the BMW Harman Kardon system on the G20 and to the cheap plastics in the Mercedes that scratch so easily.

You are right, there really was a time but that has started to sail. With that said , from what I have seen is they have actually come back from a dip in really bad products such as American made vehicles in the late 90s
