I always select the Individual drive program, which in my case is S+ with manual mode, but prefer the smoother 2nd gear starts...most of the time.

Yours won't . Different transmission. I should have clarified my comment. This setup is for 7g/7g plus/9g transmissions. Your car has the MCT 7 speed transmission. Different beast.

Come on enough Polar Bears. They have nothing to do with Mercedes.

That's Mike. I'm retired. I was a proctologist, and had many close encounters of a turd kind. I still do, apparently.

Darn, you edited again!

As for whether it is germane, it is just as meaningful as a left handed, meaningless opinion on taking a car to a dealer over a joke comment.

Which Mike may that be? And you are now a retired proctologist. Interesting.

Ok I figured out why my car sometimes starts in 3rd.. I looked under the car and noticed some fluid in the garage..so I decided to have a look.. I pulled out my garage mat and got under the car.. I saw some liquid dripping from near the transmission that was slightly yellow in color..I grabbed my magnifying glass to see if I could see a hairline crack or something in that spot.. all of a sudden I got a polar bear wet fart in the face!

It's called differential diagnosis, doc.

Another guy didn't know his mass from a scroll in the ground, but not Gunga.

I think I'll make the trek to Churchill this year.

It's been a few years.

So, a guy is sitting in a Churchill bar, when a polar bear waddles in, followed by a foot tall guy who is cursing the bear....

My CLS usually starts in second.
