That is not abuse. MB is designed by German engineers with German cultural perspective. Engineers who designed GL would commit collective suicide if car was not uber safe at 120mph.
Those who think redlining GL or driving it like you stole it is abuse, should consider switching to Buick.

Everyone has their own perception, just because you got extra horse power and built by German engineer does not justify doing 100+ miles on a family hauler. Some people like to take risk along with their family is their choice. Drive Safe is something applicable to all cars ranging form Bugatti to Buick.

Thanks

I just finished replacing the brakes on our GLK and this thread was great to reference. I just wished I had paid more attention to torx size (my largest was an E16) so I wouldn't have had to stop in the middle of a brake job to locate an E18 socket.

We just inherited a '13 450. 7,300 miles. Would I still be able to reference this Service Bulletin in regards to the shuddering/vibration?
