Thanks again everyone for all the positive comments! As I mentioned before I was having issues with the way the SAV was sitting. The dealer did some kind re-configuration of the suspension. The Truck sits alot lower now but I do now it does not raise up when I unlock the car anymore? What is the story with the suspension? Does anyone have a pic of there SAV sitting on normal height, raised and lowered? I have 30 days worth or full service without any fees so I been sending it in for the stupidest stuff.

When I went back to the dealer to fill out some other paper work from the corner of my eye I cought a glance at the love of my life. An 05 BMW X5 4.8is. Without hesitation I told the sales man I trading in the mercedes and taking that home today. He thought I was joking but here I am a week later with my new truck or well new to me. It was worth every penny the thing is a beast!

Now to my issues! The SAV has been in service since I had it already for a few issues. The breaks started squeeling which ended up being a boot was leaking and grease was getting onto the disc's causing the noise. So that was replaced. Then the break light and some other small issues. Now It is going in again because the car when parked is leaning on one side more then then other when it drops. From reading on here I believe the issue is the air is leaking on one side. Thanks again to everyone on here for the info so I knew this was an issue. Now my second issue is I been trying for the life of me to try and update my nav OS as I have 4 1/30 and I would like to update to the new one. BUT, I have a mac and tryed a million times and still cant get it to work. If someone has a spare update disc available please let me know and I will work something out with you.

Awesome car!!! If you're under warrantee and these issues are coming up that is good! Get it all done because they are inevitable anyways!

If you're not under warantee...
