Greg, any idea how many days from the build completion to being in the dealer's hands?? On my 02 it was only 6 but I realize this can vary with the distance it has to travel.

On a side note, I sold my '98 yesterday and agreed with the buyer I'd get a little exhaust leak checked out (tic, tic, tic sound). Well turns out it's a cracked header--about $600. My SA says he's never seen this on a 320, but there must be some history because they had a part in stock! Also, the cat on that side was cracked, but that's still under emissions warranty. My lucky day (right)! That $600 comes out of my pocket since the price was agreed upon.

I really want to hear your on-going assessment of the car. Also, it sounds like you're having to postpone your roadtrip in the new ML. Hopefully, you'll be able to reschedule soon.
