Rough idle on SLK55?

Just test drove a new SLK55 in a dealership today, and I found the idle is pretty rough....is it normal on SLK55? Thanks

Hey fellow mbcanada member: congratulations!!! Guess you're moving "up" in the world, going from a C230K to a SLK55 AMG!!

Make sure you post some pics when you get the car.

Well, I am not 100% sure I am getting the 55, cuz I still hasn't able to hook up with the insurance company yet. All of them I have talked to has classified me as a high risk driver and won't insure me....

Hope everything works out for you. i had a 04 c230wz, i jumped into a z4 for a year before jumping into the 55......the jump is going to be huge, you are going to love it.

Yep, try both Progressive and Geico, I'm sure both will insure you if they insure me.

Should be no rough idle at all, mine is smooth as can be, can't even tell the car is on unless you put your hand on the gearshift.

Get the 55!

(I used to have a Z4 too, great car, but the SLK55 is in a totally different league).
