What about technology that is not new that fails. I would agree with you that Mercedes is on the forefront of technology...but I think its uncanny how the Japanese can take their ideas,and make the system more reliable...and then the Benz system still falters...ie..on the 220 car....the heated and cool seats,airmatic suspension etc..etc...car has been out for years and the dealer here in town still gets to fix those items all the time
As for BMW warranty...yes I am glad I have it..it has paid about $1000 in the first year...when I had the last Benz(1992 140) it paid about $7000 in the first year I owned the car..$5100 was just an AC job(evap core,climate control push button unit),the rest was for closing assist pump and window regulators etc...all very usual repairs for the car according to my MB dealer
and actually that warranty paid about $20,000 on that after all was said and done...and yes I was very glad I had a warranty on the Mercedes
