Car that breaks down as soon as you buy it

BMWs are already pretty mainstream

It's 2023, BMW is upper middle off the pack reliability wise. If you are going to make fun of Germans it's Merc you are looking for.

Yep, Mercedes is NOTHING what it used to be... they put in Peugeot engines in new models 🤦... which is not bad, but at the price these cars sell, excuse me, but I want a Mercedes engine in there.

More €€€ and we could start talking :)

More €€€ and I'd get a Hummer.

Interestingly, some hdi Peugeot engines can go on forever

Some... all Merc engines go on forever. You bought a Merc, first 500.000km you're basically warming up the engine. People bought second hand Mercs with 400.000km on them, not a single doubt that it might fail.
