Well, a few days ago I went to start my car and the thing started shaking like it was only running on 4 or 5 cylinders... Pretty violent shaking, and the check engine light came on!!! 
Anyway, had it towed to the dealership today... We'll see what happens

It's a lease... 3 years... The manual calls for oil changes every 13k miles (it comes with Mobil 1 from the factory)...
I will change the oil ONCE during the 3 years I own the car, at 15k miles... The car will probably be driven about 30k miles during the lease term, so when I turn it in it will be ready for its next oil change... Total cost of maintenance will be less than $50 for 3 years of Mercedes fun

Really sorry to hear about your car. Good thing is that she's brand new, so they'll take care of her. Please keep us posted as to what happened. Tks.

Conversely BMW would have paid all my routine service bills for me, but they weren't willing to negotiate on the price of their 5 series, at all. Even with the fees at lease end I'm still paying less overall for the MB.
