With the BM's you don't fully click the stalk all the way over to activate it. All you have to do is tap it and it will blink a few times and then it will turn off.
Now that you've mentioned it...this feature is in my CLK 55 AMG as well. It was definitely missing on my previous non AMG 209.

BTW, I have no issues with MB quality so far. For me..its continued to be better, more stylish and luxury orientated. I am an ex-BMW loyalist till a couple of years back. I believe that a a result of the competitive wars within the auto industry...there's been a massive lift in quality & tech. innovation/isues over a decade or so. As consumers ..our expectations have risen accordingly. I could'nt imagine making comments about quality or tech stuff ..say 5 years ago. Overall us consumers will continue to benefit from this auoto industry war in the future!

Re. the MB ML issue....I don't own one...but did try the AMG & non AMG MLs. Way too much diffrence in the ride quality incl. firmness, suspension feel, comfort levels..and ofcourse that incredible AMG power. The Toyota Landcruiser , Lexus 470 or Prado seemed better than the US made ML. Ofcourse, it comes down to personal preferance at the end of the day...and we have the right to share our two cents!!
