-snip- 

sorry for snipping everything, it is literally huge

lemme explain the "plastic" so basically on the inner frame of the tire, they have this bendable plastic metal mix i think its like a tire supporter, if you run on smooth roads its fine, but once you daily rive on bumps then the tire "plastic or whatever" starts to bend and dent, causing the car to get extreme bumpiness, i actually dont know if it causes bumpiness, but i don know that bump roads can cause the damage as ie seen it myself at a mechanic shop

 

also i ain't in favor of 2 spark plugs per cylinder, because then i'm pretty sure that it can cause engine to mistime the spark ignition, or if one fails in car while riving, it could just break the engine completely because you don't know that 1 stop working and then 2 spark plug concept just bad, but same could happen with 1 spark plug per cylinder, but its more noticeable. 

 

The ac problem(once saw on reddit), i not saying this is omon, but this could happen to soe mercedes ecu idk what caused this issue, i just say a reddit where his ac would only blow hot air all time and he couldn't stop it blowing so he put a metal like tubing or like box tubes you can say, an redirected air to different sport because he didn't want to pay 12k for a whole ac rebuild

 

lemme say this before i get roasted, i literally never owned a bmw, mercedes, or audi, or porsche, these are problems i found on blogs, videos, reddits, forums, etc, easy to find issues just py browsing forums (like for example i was browsing d16 forums and i found 1000whp d16.)

is back, my conclusion on german cars

expensive buy, expensive fix, expensive german shit tech that literally don't fucking need even for a luxury 540i or something

they are still cool cars if you maintain them, but if your some guy in your early 20's avoid the car

 

Watch me buy an E34 at 21/22 then xD

1 Wait. Do you mean run flat tyres?. those are optional

2. Nissan did twinspark in the 80s. Hell multiple manufacturers have done it. It works well enough

3. One fault does not condemn a whole company.

 

I'm not saying mercs are the best cars in the world ^{even though carl benz invented the automobile}
I'm just saying all cars have faults.

ok i guess your right that cars have faults but does not effect whole company, but in parts of usa, german ca are just plain expensive and sometimes conditions of weather, temperature, and climate can decide those things,

I could get cheaper parts for my golf in poland just due to exchange rates. Everything is cheap in poland.
I doubt a VW is even that much more to fix in the states compared to here in sweden. They're made in mexico

i cant really answer if its cheaper in sweden as i've never been there, all these are kind of a mix of facts more opinions, and its ok if you guys think im completely wrong (which i probably am) but lets change topics from the "german cars unreliable chat" as it could go on foreveer and ive prorably been just blabbing opinions

A water pump for a 2008 passat 2.0 turbo is $10 cheaper on autozone than it is on mekonomen. 
But yeah. Let's change the subject.
