BMW 3 Series 328i Sport Package AT (2014) vs Ford Expedition 3.5L EcoBoost V6 4WD Limited MAX AT (2018): which should you buy?
The Ford Expedition 3.5L EcoBoost V6 4WD Limited MAX AT (₱4,258,000) is the superior choice for Filipino buyers prioritizing capability and space. At ₱32,000 less than the discontinued BMW 3 Series 328i Sport Package AT (₱4,290,000), the Expedition offers significantly more power (375 PS vs. 245 PS) and practicality with a 5-door SUV body and 2+3+3 seating, ideal for families or long trips.
