$400 for Service D?
I got my car back today from Service D maintenance. 9 quarts of oil plus the filter for $68 and $329.40 for the labor 
17,000 miles, this is my 2nd visit for an oil change, shouldn't it be service B instead of D?
The service advisor told me they did another reflash due to some air injection pump recall.

Have you noticed a lack of power or anything with that recall like other members here?
I had it done on the E55 and it still lights up the rear tires. Just wondering.

Hmm, I just did an oil change at 18824mi. The dash said service D but the bill says service B. $273 with coupon ($331 without). That was oil and filter. $197 was for labor!

I went to MBSD for service. It feels smoother after the 2nd reflash, it could of been me since I drove the 230 loaner for couple days. They did a bunch of recalls for this visit as well.

Hey I guess we just missed each other yesterday. I dropped off my car at around 10am. My friend just called to say he just finished with it. No recalls on my car except NAV. Surprising.
Like Jeff said, it might be in your head.

HAHA!! You went to Alfonso, huh? was he cool? Dude, I take mine in every 6K miles for that $200 oil change.
Did you ask him about any other stuff to see what he'd say? i'm taking mine in soon and I'm going to see if they will do some of the Star "mods" at my cost. We'll see.

Why would you go to MB for an oil change? $100 at your local foreign car place
