Re: How many of you thinking of switching to Mercedes

bmw interior no match for Lexus & Merc, aircon also not as good as others, seat contour a bit wierd and takes time to get use to, bmw radio sucks big time, even the Logic 7
but the driving feel is good la, engine is so sweet even for my N52B25 not to mention those better endowed bmw engines

Re: How many of you thinking of switching to Mercedes
Back to the topic.
Other than BMW taking away the rear aircon vents and automatic climate control in the base models, I got a new surprise from BMW in the last 2 days. Apparently, a sensor inside the steering column (BVO checked and reset the fault codes) keep showing warning that the car is losing DSC and my signal lights won't stop blinking even after making a turn. The warning sign is a circular arrow with an exclamation sign inside a triangle. The warning even tells me tyre pressure is low. How can that be? I don't even have monitoring devices in my tyres!
In all my years of driving, I have never seen do many problems but to save face I always tell my friends that BMW is number 1.
So far, the list of my problems with the car;
- faulty oil sensor sending out wrong readings resulting in over-topping engine oil which resulted car having to be towed back to workshop
- engine oil leaking
- some minor water leaking problem into the passenger side which I have no idea how and where water got in
- wing mirrors resetting itself every time and fixed by PML
- irregular rpm due to faulty ignition coil fixed by BVO
- latest and greatest, faulty steering column sensor throwing out warnings and would cost me est $1,000 to fix
I think Merc will never have the above problems. My family has always been pro-Merc but I broke tradition and regretting it.

Re: How many of you thinking of switching to Mercedes
true lah. E90 seems to have more problems than E46. My E46 was rock solid.
but the last generation merc, A class, CLK, C class, S class all gave us hell lots of problems.
it doesnt help when C&C is out there to suck ur blood at every opportunity.
but a wise one once said, the time when u start to appreciate merc soft suspension, is also the time ur below is going soft.

A video to describe my steering column sensor problem. In my case, it is intermittent, goes on & off.

Re: How many of you thinking of switching to Mercedes
Yesterday was declared car-test-drive-day by the Beng Alumni. Lim pay accordingly was bouncing around Leng Kee Road. Walked into C&C, no salesman attend to yours truly wearing turtle neck T-shirt(bot from pasar malam one), Bata scandals, Bermudas(given by my chao neighbour cos he grown bigger) and my $35 sunglasses that sees fark-off. Err hmm.....actually none of the Merc on display looked any good, except the new E-class-coupe. Didnt test drive cos C&C charges me $3.60 for a bottle of soft drinks! then off to Audi showroom liao and.....nevermind.
