I noticed when I got mine it had 60 miles on it from the dealer and I have spoke to a few people and they got theres with 40 and 50 mile on them.

Nope

Mine started with 3, which is by far the lowest of any new car I've ever bought, including 4 MBs. My experience has generally been 10-15. 40 seems like a lot to me.

They might have been taken out on test drives. But they could track test thim in the good ole bama.

I know my dads new S600 (W221) had about 20 miles on it when we picked it up. We recieved a letter from MBUSA stating the car was tested on a track for quality control measures.

could also be one of the managers at the dealership took it home?
or it couldve been used on a couple of test drives? there are many different scanerios
if the car came with a couple hundred lets say, and you leased the car they would gladly start your lease at the mileage showing, in case you go over those will not be counted
