I have some stuff for the dealer to install (New MP Design Wheel and 160* Thermostat) as well as the usual oil change. Think I will get them to drain and fill the tranny fluid and the brake lines along with inspecting the brake pads which should be close to needing replaced although they are making no screeching noises.

Forgot to mention I will be trying to talk my SA into doing the IC pump upgrade also...trying the 'car loses power after a few spirited runs' approach.

You should also have a full inspection of wear and tear items (brakes, suspension, hoses, belts). I would throw a supercharger belt on if it were me as they are cheap and quick to do.
Beyond this, the only thing open for debate would be the plugs and a power steering fluid refresh.

So I guessing you have lost you maintenance manual??? Dripping sarcasm.
You can go to MBUSA owners online and register with your VIN number and then you can download this booklet.
ANYWAY, from the 2007 E-Class booklet
Which is the same thing they do at 10K miles

Show me in the manual where it says 'This is what others that have reached the 50K milestone have seen as problems that will/can occur in the nest 15K miles and to get the dealer to fix these potential problems BEFORE the car is out of warranty" in the manual.
/sarcasm off
Seriously, this is a forum for members to share right? We were not asking what the MANUAL says as we all know that and our stealership will be more than happy to do those services. We were just interested in what may go wrong in near future and what to have them check NOW while under warranty.
Thanks for the suggestions guys.
