[quote=Anonymous]I’m a mechanic and can say from experience that out of these 3 German brands (MB, BMW, Audi), MB is the more reliable one.
These cars are less reliable than Toyota and Honda because they are engineered for performance and driving experience.
BMW emphasizes on this a bit more than MB and that one of the reasons they tend to have more problems than MB.
Another reason is that they use more plastic parts in their engine. Even parts like the intake manifold is plastic.
The reliability ranking would be: 1. MB , 2. BMW, 3. Audi
If you go to Germany, you’ll find that most taxis are MB. There has to be a reason for this. Nobody would run a fleet of taxis
with unreliable cars. You’ll that many of them have over 200k miles.

If you end up going with BMW, rest assured that the car won’t leave you stranded on the highway. These are still very reliable vehicles.
Any car that isn’t well maintained can break down and leave you stranded. 
German luxury cars are expensive to repair and that’s true. But repair costs and reliability are two very different things and people often confuse them.[/quote]
