Does your dealer charge you for "tweaks", etc.?

Actually, its 18 in most of Europe. Different places enfore it differently. Im in UK, and they are relatively careful. Not nearly as careful as in USA. I imagine France is a lot more relaxed then UK.

I was thinking more about France and Italy. If there is one, it certainly was not enforced.

When I lived in Germany, I believe the "official" drinking age was 16 (although I could be wrong). However, there was no enforcement, as far as I could tell. I used to tell people in the states that it was like the cigarrette age limit here. It was 18, but you would not have a problem buying if you were younger (of course, this has all changed now - for the better).

Tweaks s/b Gratuity

I have owned Audis for 7 years and they are all covered by a similar 4 yr/50k warranty. When I bring my car in for warranty work and ask them to make some little computer adjustments as for windows and such, it is done for free.

I would expect M-B to do the same.

Now if you were just bringing it in to do that alone w/o some warranty work, then that is another issue.
