I understand how you feel. Having had a 318 myself, less than stellar
car. What made matters worse was the lack of care at the dealership.
Granted it was only a 318 and not a 750, but they should have been more
responsible.

I switched to a Cadillac STS after the 318...and like in your case,
what a difference!

Since then I moved to a different state. I am happy that the local BMW
dealer is much better, and I am happy with my X 5. It too had some
problems, nothing that dealer could not take care of, as a drive in.

Good luch with your Mercedes. I've had a few of those, including the
6.9! They are fine cars.

I personally wouldn't have any other car bar BMW! Dealers are all the same they are paid to sell cars, get a lot of commision for doing it too! Charge top money for repairs! Its like any thing you buy theres the good and the bad!I have a 1995 318i, had it for two years, just replaced the exhaust after having, had the same one on since new! Parts are like gold dust to get hold of, so it speaks for itself really!! Godd driving with your Merc,no doubt you'll have poblems creepong in with that one too!!lol
