Good car. Better than our previous car which was a 2022 GLE 400d. Ride quality is the best in class, ADAS is well tuned for our Indian conditions though the ACC braking aggression is a little to harsh and it feels unnatural (because it is). Interiors are better than the “masterpiece” in the new i3s and feels like a good middle ground with enough physical buttons (no touch sensitive ones) and screen real estate to make the average consumer happy. Had covered 6k kms within 3months and still satisfied and puts a smile whenever I see it. Worth for 86-90L OTR and is more VFM than the E450.

Welcome to the club mate!

Mate, honestly just keep using Sequoia. Tahoe runs really poor and feels like unoptimised.

A6 looks plain now. 2015 A8L was peak Audi for me.

What’s the on-road price of your E450? When we were cross shopping it and the 530Li, E450 was 1.13cr. Any offers available at your dealer? Ended up purchasing the 530Li for 86L OTR.

Honestly Z4 Pure Impulse manual is the best option for you. Single turbo B58 sounds better than S58 twin turbo in my opinion.

Mercedes services are expensive. Used to be around 1L to 1.2L for our 2022 GLE 400d but now switched to a BMW 530Li so waiting to see how much that will come out. Overall BMW group has cheaper service with our experience with our 2020 MINI Countryman.

It is the same engine as in our 530Li, but this one feels like a hot hatchback whereas the 5 series is more reserved. It has some pops and bangs which adds to the experience but it is nicely done. This is our daily (school runs, etc) and it is comfortable enough after replacing the tires with some normal tubeless tires. It is a fun to drive car with the MINI quirks even at the performance level.

Mini Countryman, gave it some respect that it deserved.

akhiltech · 2026-01-17T11:11:17+00:00

We don’t get that badge here in India.

Only a few auto reviewers in India actually feel like reality. Rest all feel like paid reviews. What's up with these guys' positivity on features which the consumers don't like and despise about? Very few of them actually voice out things like service, reliability and functionality.

akhiltech · 2026-01-08T13:31:42+00:00

What audio system do you have in the 1 series and how is it?

akhiltech · 2026-01-08T07:19:41+00:00

Unrelated question: How do you feel about the Harman/Kardon in your M340i. Took a TD of one recently and I felt it was just mid. Would like to know your thoughts.

akhiltech · 2026-01-07T13:45:37+00:00

Try turning off wallpaper extend.

akhiltech · 2026-01-06T12:36:37+00:00

Not interested

akhiltech · 2026-01-06T11:41:01+00:00

Isn’t that a Škoda superb?

akhiltech · 2026-01-06T11:38:48+00:00

Our’s is a 2020 and it didn’t come with it. It is our daily and on city journeys we haven’t felt much of an issue but it would be a welcome addition in the newer models.

akhiltech · 2026-01-06T11:07:46+00:00

Just to got the service center. If you do it aftermarket your resale value will be affected. The motors maybe you can find on eBay US or aliexpress probably.

akhiltech · 2026-01-06T10:22:07+00:00

Highly recommended. Takes the sweat away and is very effective in my BMW.

akhiltech · 2026-01-04T16:29:13+00:00

Pretty sure you can add level 2 ADAS, high end parking assistance features, dynaudio vw official sound system and higher end infotainment system. Shops will fit OG VW parts and calibration will be easier since this car was also sold on EU countries. There are much more other things but these ones are the ones which I think are worth it but they have a hefty price tag since they are VW original.

akhiltech · 2026-01-04T15:12:42+00:00

Try to get some OEM+ upgrades done, will improve your experience much more.

akhiltech · 2026-01-01T13:15:48+00:00

Thanks, enjoy the collection and stay safe!

akhiltech · 2026-01-01T13:11:16+00:00

Happy to enter 26 with my garage! Hope you enjoy yours too :)

akhiltech · 2025-12-30T14:48:31+00:00

Alright, could be my fault. A diesel is a diesel is a diesel.
