Never underestimate the power of the Mercedes-Benz star

On my since traded MB GLS Suv, there was a wiring fault somewhere in the steering column that rendered everything on the turn-signal stalk inoperable.

When was the last time your $70,000, 3-year old SUV, experienced inoperable turn signals?

It took them two tries to fix it (and that was MB Manhattan, the NYC stealership that is owned by MB USA). Mercedes quality is a thing of the past. I replace the MB with a BMW and the quality is actually much higher and the car is better driving as well.

2019 750i xDrive...X7 wasn't out yet, didn't need such a huge SUV (later got a Cayenne) but traded the GLS for the 750i. Glad mine is a 2019 because I do not admire the huge grille on the 2020 7-series.

7-Series is a fantastic vehicle - I had a prior-gen 2013 S-Class a while ago and it was ponderous and soft - 7-Series is light on its feet and interior is very posh and glassy. Napa leather covers EVERYTHING.
