7 days for the first scratch.
Wouldn't be so bad If I did it. Washing the car.... I come across...
Front bumper, driver side. Some !@#$%^&*!@$%^&* rubbed against it with a car.........
Talking a walk before i start shooting things...
So happy the wife hasn't driven it so she can't be a suspect

It happens. I banged the rear passenger door jamb with my briefcase in the first month of ownership. Nice ding there. Also picked up a door ding from a parking lot at work, in the first month.

oy, you may be right about the film...
Still racking my brain trying to figure out how it got damaged... I always pull in front first and it was on the front edge.... doubt somebody was backing out and scraped it in that area....
At this point... the only time I can think that area was even accessible to damage was at the dealer in the service area. Impossible to prove and not likely they would admit fault...
So just moving on and still glad the wife had not driven it yet and is off the suspect list LOL

Yup twins, but im still breaking it in... no romping yet 
Been comparing to the ML63 I had previous....
Dinamica headliner and pillars... i like
Pop up command center... on the fence versus the previous in-bedded version...
Seems better structurally but probably just the newness....
New Wheel has some sort of cloth on it ? dinamica ?
ML wheels where easier to clean .... my hands are too big to get behind the spokes near the outer rim...
Engine and Tranny are much more in sync with each other...
Message seats... not used it yet but wife likes it.....

New law
If you ding a car with your car door and your car is worth less than the sales tax on the car you dinged... You go to jail for one year. (All of a sudden, people would be careful around expensive cars). note: sales taxes here in Eastern Canada is 15%.
