just dropped off the killa at the dealer to get the cf door panels back on and want to do a 100-200kph test. a cursoty search did not show this so some detail needed. also got an e320 loaner car, usually get an ml320. what kind of cars does you dealer give you?

Yes...Go into the settings menu and change it from "mi" to "km". I think it's the first setting option under the Instrument Cluster menu. Then, select the digital speedo as you would in MPH, and it should display kph, and change all your fuel and mileage calculations to the metric system.

You get better loaners than I do..all we got here are C240s and some C230 WZs.

I went in for my 1000mi looksie last week and got an Intrepid. Man, what a slug. The harder you stepped on the gas, the louder the engine got. After a few minutes, I think it started to accelerate too. It really made me appreciate my car when I got it back.

Count yourself lucky. I'm in an Enterprise groaner - filthy with 1/4 tank of gas.....

And Star Motor Cars only pays for five days max rental. Even then you have to pay $5-6 per day in "taxes".
