The number of bimmers you actually see is a function of excellent sales/advertising/marketing, hands-on involvement of BMW in the philippines (BMW Phils, Inc.), and all-out support of BMW Phils to its dealerships. A centralized parts depot was even set-up by BMW phils. to support parts availability.

Unfortunately, DaimlerChrysler is not that active here in the phils. they do not even have an office here and just manage through its local dealers here.

So, BMW outnumber MB's here in the Phils reflects the former's success in hands-on marketing even if the Philippines is considered a marginal market in the Asian region.

Overall, both the car quality of BMW and MB's are at par. It's the marketing savy and involvement that is making the difference here in this market.
