Here goes,

I leased this car one year ago and now have roughly 15k miles. I like the car as far as comfort, competence of drive etc. Other than that I am sick of it. I have never owned a car that has had more problems. ( I have owned over 20 Mercedes along with a bunch of American cars ) At 7k it blew the fuel pump and left me stranded in Saint Louis. It wouldn't have been too big a deal but not one of the 3 dealers had a pump and it took 3 days to get one. (weekend) That to me is unacceptable. The brakes squeel louder than I can tolerate and after 5 trips to the dealer still do. The radio doesn't work sometimes, blue tooth is unreliable, the power mirror on the passinger side had to be replaced, the memory seats loose their memory.

Please note that my dealer is very nice and accomodating. I like my service rep and think he wants to help. With that said, I just don't have time for this car. Literally. One more year on the lease and I will be done with BMW's for now. I can not imagine owning one of these cars out of warranty. Hope everyone has better luck than me and everyone has a great 08.

Sorry about the spellsing. In a hurry.

Interesting first post.

You've owned over 20 MBs and replacing a fuel pump and squeaky brakes is unacceptable to you? You must have been the luckiest mercedes owner on the planet.

Sorry for your troubles there Chris; 3 BMW's, then 3 MB's, now back on my 3rd BMW since. The MB I owned had more serious mechanical/PIA issues besides being Very Boring cars...perhaps a lexus is in your future...ick!!
