had my first B service today
they wouldn't replace the airfilters, but at least I got wipers 
1) myself and others have posted about rough idle. they replaced collapsed engine mounts, and now it's a smooth as silk!
2) sunroof wouldn't one touch close or reset. they found a broken piece of the accordian, cleaned and lubed, fixed.
and now for the most interesting:
3) rear-view mirror rattles. they refused to fix/replace! "vehicle equipped with aftermarket suspension, which will change the ride making it stiff. more items will bounce because of suspension." i didn't have time to get into it with them, and I don't really care, but just wanted you guys to know. Be wary of mods, heh!
FYI, this was at Beverly Hills MB.

For the filters, just replace them yourself with K&N or Green. 
The rear view mirror?....that's BS. Even w/o your tight suspension it would probably STILL rattle once in a while when you hit a decent bump, no?

Can anyone tell me what is included in the Service B, and how much it should run? My car is out of warranty, and I was thinking about either doing it myself or having an independent do it. Anyone recommend a good independent in the San Diego area?
