Ποιό θεωρείτε καλύτερο; Αξίζει τα κατά μέσο όρο 1000 ευρώ παραπάνω το BMW μιλώντας πάντα για μοντέλα 2008-2009 και για τις δύο μηχανές; Με ενδιαφέρει κυρίως το θέμα αξιοπιστίας, οδικής συμπεριφοράς παρά τα "καλούδια"¨που μπορεί να έχει πάνω της κάποια μηχανή. Εχω οδηγήσει λίγο τον ιάπωνα όχι όμως το γερμανό.
