Hi Adi

In india I'd consider other alternatives mainly because;

- apparently you don't get sport suspension, even on a fully loaded car (after paying crazy 75k) you get base suspension in india.

- re: reliability, I've heard its a lot more difficult to get things fixed there than here. This seems to be a brand where things do go wrong once in a while, you want to be sure of the service network. I wouldn't buy a bmw in india.

Frankly even my Indica was more reliable than both my bmws here.

But I love the way these cars drive! As long as I'm in the US I'll try yo stick to this brand but I can't even imagine buying one in india.

Just my perspective.

PS: get a Fiesta Classic diesel with the TDCi engine and you'll have lots of money for upgrades like wheels and tyres, lots n lots of fun!
