I just got my E55 yesterday and the passenger front airmatic just died and is tucked way under the well. I was already taking it in tomorrow for the supercharger disengaging when doing some spirited driving.

Damn, on both sides? What is funny is my rear on the passenger side rear is getting lower as well, maybe something to do with compensation in the programming. Guess I am going to flatbed this to the dealer in the morning, does warranty cover that? Lucky this all took place in my drive way, I can't steer the car without it rubbing the outer fender.

Haha, not yet! I have to have high hopes that my service advisor here in Houston can get me taken care of. It is under warranty still and I know there is a lot to appreciate for the 24 hours of problems I have had since I purchased the car. I am going to be out of town for the weekend so if I am lucky I don't get that slow boat from Germany for the Airmatic that someone posted in the past few weeks that was reportedly taking 3 weeks to arrive. Then again, at least I haven't gotten used to it yet being so new so 3 weeks in a loaner won't be so bad. I was out a couple weeks in a rental that I paid for because Chevy couldn't fix a damn blown AC compressor.

You've got company! Right front dropped today and had an appointment next week for the sc not engaging at all. I found out that flatbeds don't handle too well.

Man that is funny that we both have the same problems. I took it in today but have not heard anything yet on it. I called this morning and within one hour a flatbed was here free of charge. I am very pleased so far, got a nice little c230 sport as a loaner too. I also asked them if they had the 93 octane program to do it since that is all I run, hope that works out.

I asked about that too and the SA said no way so I didn’t ask about the 10 degree F setting. He said they have to do the ecu reflash too.
I had the sc quit during some hard runs and it came back after it cooled down. I noticed a week later that it wasn’t chirping...the car felt okay until I tried to light up the tires and no way. My car has about 22k miles after 33 months. How about you?
All I got was a shuttle ride home.

Mine has 35k on it. That is so strange that some dealers offer the loaners whole others don't. Only requirement at my dealer is 24 hour notice. Then again it is in Houston and every other car is a MB.

Got my car back today, they replaced the front shock. They had them in stock in Houston. The intercooler pump was bad as well and now the car runs strong all the time. The RS6 saw the MB fury today 6 times from a dead stop.
