Well to start off this is a BMW group. Couldn't you find a Mercedes forum?
And this is usenet, not 'webland'. Oh, and the witicisms were aimed more at
the follow-up posters than you; I don't think you were flamed?. Finally, if
you're having problems with your car, it might be a good idea to provide a
few hints as to what they may be. Kind of hard to offer advice when we
don't have any clue what the problem is.

Just two other pieces of advice because I've had a few Heinekens... ;-)
Unless you want to get a lot of spam, it's a good idea to modify your e-mail
address in your web client as I've done for you above. Finally -- and I may
be flogging a dead horse here, but I post on the spamcop forums where the
rule is strongly adhered to -- try not to top-post. Ta!

Oh, and good luck with the big ol' benz.
