    Yeah, I too like BMW. It rocks, especially the one they show in bond movies. Even Audi is great, many germans preffer Audi.

    Mercedes is more of a luxury car. Have you heard of the model "Macbeth" from DC??.

    When you talk about cars, Geramn cars lead the way I think. :)

    Govind.. Germany main toh har saada aadmi..chahe computer engineer ho yaa nahi ho.. BMW and Mercedes drive karte hain..unke liye toh this is normal. :smile:

    Gaurav.. i agree there is definitely some correlation.. don't know what it is.. but its there..

    even i am buying a BMW.. just Neeraj aa jaaye USA....in next six months we will have one :grin:

    both of us are also Computer Engineers! :lol: We didn't give a second thought on what car we wanted..

    staying in munich for more that 3 years now. Moved in here from US.
    Still don't have a car !
    Reasons -
    1. I don't need a car in Munich to move around.
    2. BMW and MERCs ARE EXPENSIVE cars and not every German can afford to drive those vehicles !
    But yes, used BMWs and Mercs especially A -Class are quite affordable. (used BMW, may be 4 years old, avg miles on it, can be had for 15K Euros. )
    btw - drove BMW 1 series from Munich to Nice, France. Just wonderful.
