Except when the warranty expires, that sensotronic brake control system will cost you $10,000 for every dealer visit you make to get it repaired -- and you'll make plenty. Additionally, many other electronic gizmos that would be going wrong on a daily basis will ensure that you'll be bankrupt within two years of the end of the factory warranty. And oh, you can't even do something as simple as performing your own oil changes and such on that car.

With the 240D, you can do all of your own maintenance, you will have very few repairs, and best of all, you can own it forever without going bankrupt. There's no comparison here!
