I think I will also my 540 did after 5 weeks but than

again this is one big *** V8 to spin over.
One good thing that will come out of all this. I am going to the dealer to get the radio code if the battery is dead.
Anyone has a good battery brand for replacement?
I was thinking Interstate or Diehard Platinum....

Man I wish we could take bets! This is exciting!

I got 20$ on her firing right up. Germans built it for s*it like this.

If the battery was any older, I would vote against.

Come onnnnn, when do we get the verdict!!!???

AND CLEAR THE SNOW AT LEAST OFF THE FRONT GRILL SO SHE DOESN'T SUCK SNOW UPON START.

We will all know tomorrow...who has Optima at a good price..Just incase

I took the garden hose out last night and started making rain. The roof,hood,trunk and passenger side cleaned. Tonight I am working on the driver's side and the rest of the driveway. Tomorrow being in the 50s I will crank it up. I hit the alarm and all the lights looked good.
If she does not start I am going to order an OPTIMA as EMOVING suggested.

I did not clean it thinking it was going to warm up and melt it all. Plus I wasn't planning on driving it in the snow....

I doubt it will start...My car would not start after it been sitting for 3 week in my garage. I try to start it the other day and all the lights dim. All I got was click, click, click and it was completely dead. Battery is about 11 month old from MB. I'm taking it in tomorrow to get it check out.

I would buy a battery tender if anyone is planning on leaving one of these cars sit.

I agree..I got one for my 911 after replacing two battery in two year. Porsche void the battery's warranty if your Porsche are not driven 6K miles per year. I need to get another battery tender for the MB.

I use a trickle charger hooked to my secondary battery in the trunk. My car sits in the garage all winter and starts right up come late Feb or early March.

I think you are most likely beat... It has been sitting for almost 3 months with no attention. When they are new they die if they sit in the showroom too long with no trickle charge. Good luck though!
