Every other week. Two days ago it was for SRS.

Two weeks ago - brakes. I get the brake "visit workshop" message about once a month.

I think they should change the message to "Stay in the workshop".

Of the 13 days that I've owned my car, I have it at home for 3 days. The other 10 days, car stayed at dealer so they could debug "workshop" problems.

It's still at the dealer, I'm told for another week.

98 miles on the car, yeaaa, baby.

Bummer. Mechanically - the car has been fine. Electronic gremlins are the most frequent problems that pop up with my W211.

Stay in the workshop. Good one. :LOL:
