Car's back in the shop...
Whenever I'd accelerate from a standstill, there would be a single click sound coming from the left rear wheel.. I dropped the car in on Friday and they couldn't figure it out so they kept it over the weekend. I called again this morning and they're still working on it... 
Euromotorcars gave me an 02' SLK230 as a loner...

It has nothing to do with the transmission... Even if I come to a stop and accelerate again it makes that click/tink noise. I just called my service advisor and he said they are still working on it and it won't be done even today...

There is nothing wrong with it, they just want to drive it. Maybe a bushing in one of the control arms. I had one replaced, apparently that is fairly common and it made a similar sound but it was pretty noticeable when you drove it at least to me. Quick fix, only took about twenty minutes once they figured out what it was.

Any news on the car Eric? What was the problem? Or were they to busy smashing up JKY X's E55?

Out of curiousity, what did the dealer charge you for the fix? I've got the same issue with my car, and they want $400.00 to fix it. I think I'm getting pwned.
