Is It Me Or The Car?
My Car Only Has 450 Miles On It And Its A 2005 E500 Fully Loaded And The Car On The Highway Moves To The Sides Easily And The Steering Chimmers.the Car Was Taken Three Days Ago For Aligmnet And Balancing And It Doesnt Chimmer That Much From Before But I Think The Car Is This Way. The Car Feels To Light On The Highway.
Do You People Experiance These Same Issues Or Is There Anyone Who Could Help Me With This?

When you say "chimmer" do you mean wheel shimmy (An abnormal vibration especially in the front wheels of a motor vehicle-Webster's)? If so, I have no such shimmy. ('04 E-5)

It seems as though they haven;t sorted the alignment out properly.
You need the most experienced tech to have a go....
it should be covered...also get the tyres checked for defects.

It's definitely not how the car is supposed to be. I've never experienced anything like that. I think you need to have your dealer check it out ASAP. Wepa to you and enjoy your new car, by the way!

Apparently all wheel balancing machines weren't created equal. This was a common problem with the previous generation 5 series (E39). The problem was usually unballanced wheel(s), and often only the best wheel balancing machines would solve the problem.
I'd research wheel balancing machines, and then try to find someone in your area with the right equipment.
Good Luck.
