  1. Oh this model is one of my favorite car and I always want to buy this car. But as I have one Mercedes also so it is somehow hard to afford this car at this time. As I live in Dubai so when my car need any servicing I visit mercedes service center in Dubai and there not only Mercedes but also they do BMW car repair.
