My Ride: Jet Black 545i
Yea well, like it or not, that's reality. Sorry for your bad luck on the E60, but a downgrade is a downgrade. Don't get offended cuz someone called you out on it.
You can argue that if you got the E500.
always a class act tomwid...but hey this is a BMW board...and given the nature of my post you guys are all being quite civil...but thats what I would expect from this group thats why I like it here

And oh I wanted to mention, I downgraded too. From an S Class to a 545i, so I'm in the same boat... Well sort of. I see you're already on the MBForums...

Just out of curiosity...
There was talk about MBZ making changes to their warranty.
I vaguely remember that new owners had to pay out of their own pockets for the oil changes, regularly scheduled maintenance, tune-ups, etc. that were covered in their previous warranty. I'm not sure on the details so I could be wrong altogether.
What is the warranty like for your E-class?

Oh ya... i'm curious too... warranty is still the same I believe... but they dropped the "Full Maintenance" package... even when its called "FULL" BMWs isnt "full" its full of it.

yes, they dropped the maintenance. my local dealer received a fax from mbusa (sending out to dealers nationwide) the day that i went there to test drive the clk. that's also one of the reasons why i picked e60

I almost sold my 545i due to frequent dealer visits too. My ad is still in Autotrader.com since I signed up for list until its sold. Who knows, if someone accepts my full offer, I may be riding a 550i soon
