im damn sure i know more about this car than you do, and just because im 17, that doesnt mean i dont work hard, and by the way, if youve ever read my posts before, im sure you know that this isnt even my car. i try to help others into buying MB, but when when you just post BMW's warranty, your just stating what it is, you didnt even post why MB doesnt match thier warranty, your post was worthless, if you wanted to start a conversation on warranty, atleast ask, or give us a clue...btw, how old are you anyway?

Businesses are in business for profit. I'm sure BMW has some things that they charge for that MB doesn't.

i too dont want to become an enemy, but when you want to start a thread, please give more info on what to post about, like "how can MB match this"

Part of a forum in my opinion is not only to talk about all the neato stuff but IF there is a weak point and a critique is needed then let it be said.............HEY, this is AMERICA not IRAQ.
I know that my dealer thanks to some movment monitors this forum as well as at least one RSM in the Southeast. How do we ever change anything IF we leave the stuffed suits in MB MGT. which I refer to as Cube Rats to live in a vacuum.
Let it be said if we owners are not happy and want a change.
If MB MGT does not listen then once this round of owners is fed up with the weaknesses that never got corrected I for one will go back to my BMW days with hesitation.

I find Konigstiger's posts to be for the most part very informative.... I consider myself still very much a newbie here and really haven't got to learn everyones "online" personalities as of yet. Although reading most of Konigstigers posts I feel alot of his information given is much "fuel for thought" and the nature of his posts are to get the blood flowing (very refreshing).... I may be way off base, but I kinda feel he is the "Ralph Nader" of this forum and I think every forum needs members like him..... Perhaps to some here they thought the original post may have seemed to be a pointless statement, but not I as I plainly saw who posted it... This is konigstigers (MO) to me and I expect it from him.... I'm sure you have heard the saying "the squeeky wheel gets the grease" well there you go... One thing I've learned in life is to keep these sqeeky wheels on your team... Nuff said.
Keep up the good work bro....

Hi
Both MB and BMW has its unique way to attract clients to purchase its product. BMW has full maintainance provide to its all new vehicles, but MB doesn't cover wear items.
Think if Cadi provide all the free maintainance program as BMW, will you buy Cadi??
MB has life time roadside assistance, but not BMW....
MB has smooth acceleration, but not BMW. Both are fast, but BMW has really strong pickup feeling that I dislike....
MB are a slice better than BMW in my opinion and that is why you are here at this forum...... Not BMW's forum

I had an M3 and BMW was kind enough to give me a 100,000 mile engine warranty. Of course it was because the M3 engine has a propensity to explode so they are just covering their behinds. And if it wasn't for an individual on the M3 board that kept track, BMW would have tried to brush it under the rug, blaming driver negligence for the blown engines. One reason I left BMW.
