Vibration at higher speeds
I've noticed that ever since the last service, when the dealer rotated the tires, I have a vibration. The vibration starts at 95mph and is in full effect by 100mph. It is very noticable, shakes the car car quiet a bit. Now, I've been to the dealer to get this fixed, but they claim that the car feels like all C320's 
and that they re-balanced the tires, but to no avail. Now, I know the dealer won't drive 100mph to check for a vibration, so what could this be so I can get it fixed? I already checked the tire pressure, and before the tire rotation everything was perfectly smooth.

I'm just curious where you get to drive 95-100 mph on a regular basis such that this would be a real issue.....
I'm lucky to get to the speed limit here in Houston - I blame that on the large number of lumbering SUV's.....

I've hit the rev limiter
I drive to school everday on 280, and on the way home, about 11:00am or so, I average about 110mph. Now I go faster than that in certain spots, but when I pass people at that speed, it looks like everyone else is stopped. So far the car has let me go 139, but I'm trying to push it farther.

I had a Ford before and they rearended it while it was in service. But the Denver Mercedes dealer insulted me when I was looking for the C320 back in October. They flat out told me to stop waisting their time since I CAN'T afford one of their cars 
funny enough, the Colorado Springs VW dealer told me the same thing about the GTI I am driving. I guess I'll have to look around for a place with a good balancing machine.
