How can they possibly compel you to sign that?

 

There a joke I has alot of e-mails with people wanting to see it. So i just posted it .I still dont have my car because my dealer is telling me all the parts are on back order This happen on 12/25/07.My car was towed on 12/26/07 to the dealer. Im starting to think Mb is f@cking with me over this.But i will have my day in court with them

 

looks like a regular release agreement. But what the hell happened?

 

driver side seat curtin and back door drive side airbag depolyed while my wife was driving.We dont know what caused them to go off and Mb usa wont tell us or the dealer

 

I have had this happen in my Honda but that was because I had a faulty sensor that caused this issue.

I say as long as they fix the car back to factory standards, it shouldnt be a problem. It could have been a faulty sensor more than likely or some sort of electrical discharge near the airbag.

 

i have pic but for some reason i cant post them

 

As an attorney, i would advise that if you intend to go to court, keep everything to yourself until that time. Not that we're not interested, but, it could certainly affect your settlement standing.

 

I agree, but we would like to know the final settlement unless you are required to sign a non disclosure statement.

 

this happened to a friend of mine with his X5... accept he was sitting at a stop light. BMW canceled the lease, took the X5 back and offered them a lease on a 5 series at almost cost...

 

I posted about it in the off topic area when it happened

 

The basic answer should be no. Why on Earth would ANYONE sign this? See an attorney first, even a TV commercial attorney would do!

 

Its been a while since i seen my car so we went to the dealer today. I had them pull my rims off and put the new one's. Keep in mind that one was bent but i dropped it off to have it fixed. They are Lowenhart lt5 black with crome lips 20x9 front and 20x10 rear the tire are Continental Sport 255/30/20 and the back are 305/25/20 tire have less than 2000 miles on them. This fit was for my cls but they fit my e500 and no they dont rub Retail is about 8k for the set with tires. Im taking all offers or the first 2k takes them Here is a pick of them from a website i will get them cleaned up and put pictures up soon
