SO, now I have to risk buying two more tires to get them flipped, or drive them with out the correct pattern.

Plus when I call and got a price quote for the tires he told me 980 something, then later that day said it was going to be just over a 1000, but when I got there, it was 1200 for two tires ordered from tirerack.com. I was in a real hurry since I was in a military school and really shouldn't had been gone from class. It was a real bad day. Lesson learned well.

Dont get me wrong, I have had some excellent experiences with various stealerships in the past but when they funk-up they can really funk-up! On one occasion when they were putting my alloys on they snaped the head of the locking key into the locking nut. Worse thing is they did not admit it at the time. Luckily I noticed a few days after when washing the car. Took it straight back and demanded they fix it. They had to drill the locking nut out, damaging my alloy in the process. They also replaced the locking nuts as I would have expected.

Sanj - did you get another 5er after selling up or was this enough to make you switch marques altogether?

Unfortunately, many of the SA's at the stealerships know this and therefore, in my opinion and experience, take liberties. How do you find the SA's at Benz?
