Hard to tell whether it has burlwood (desirable) or zebrano (common) dash

Probably b/c their list price is ridiculously high.  I drove a loaner
Mercedes EV SUV that was quite well decked out, with 185 mile range and
regenerative braking.  I drove 4 miles but used only 2 miles of range due
to this feature.  For the $95K asking price I would have expected a range

Re: [MBZ] The eclipse

2024-04-08 Thread Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes
We peaked at 89 percent in suburban DC.  The best part was when it started
at 2:05 ET - a tiny black wart appeared out of nowhere and began to grow on
the right side of the sun...  At 89 percent a tiny sliver was all that was
left of the sun, although there was no appreciable darkening of the sky...
The sun then began to emerge from bottom to top until all that was left of
the moon was a dimple (like a skull cap) at 4:00.  Fascinating.

[MBZ] Zimmerman brakes

2024-03-21 Thread Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes
My 2015 ML 250 needed rear brakes to pass MD inspection.  FCP Euro advised
that Zimmerman rotors at half the price of OEM were probably a safe bet,
since they are manufactured in Germany.  Anybody have experience with this
brand?

Re: [MBZ] AGM Battery for ML 250

2024-03-14 Thread Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes
It still has the original battery with the date stamped on it from the
factory. It's now 9 years old and working fine, except that Eco start works
only sporadically and the rear hatch doesn't open fully in the morning
after the car has been sitting overnight.

[MBZ] AGM Battery for ML 250

2024-03-14 Thread Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes
The dealer wants $315 for a battery for my 2015 ML 250 but Costco sells a
Group 49 900 CCA replacement for about half that price.  Are these a decent
brand?
