I know this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find the thread.
My warrenty will be running out shortly (2000 more miles left), and I will probably keep the car. I just had the B-Service done, but now I want to bring it in one last time to fix whatever could still be covered. For example the peeling paint, heated seats, ratteling door. I already got the pillar rub fixed.
Anybody any ideas what else to look for? Is it worth to get an independent inspection (its about $150)?
CHECK THE TRANNY!!!! Don't let them tell you that it's a closed tranny and is "good for life"!!! It's full of crap!! My warranty ran out at 100k miles at 105K the tranny died. Approx. $5k to fix!!!!!!
I had one done before I bought the car. The guy said that the supercharger was too loud and I should have it checked. When I told the MB people about it, they said the volume of the SC is normal, and that I should have done the inspection at a MB dealership.
About the tranny, I have a manual. See the other post.
Lots of these sophisticated computer controlled transmissions are throw away units.
A friend was told his BMW 5 series box was good for 70,000 miles, then, you replace it. Can't be rebuilt.
I hope mine isn't the same but at 61,000 miles, 96,000km, I think the shifting has deteriorated.
