I dropped by my dealership for a car wash and to ask if the occasional squeaking brakes was normal particularly on a humid day in Texas, to which they summoned a tech to go for a ride with me--and of course they did not squeak but it is fairly normal on hot and humid days, I was told. I wasn't used to such soft brakes so I had him test that too...normal. My rear windshield wiper gushed liquid instead of spraying it, he fixed that in two minutes with a pen knife. This is my first MB, and I am loving the first class service, even if it is just a van. The tech had high praise for the engine on these vans, he sees very few problems, but does fix rattles from time to time behind the panels, he said. I feel even better about my investment and am looking forward to the next 3000 miles. BTW, the rattle we all seem to hear disappeared around 2700 miles.

Great to hear. I'm loving mine, 5500 miles. I am amazed at the positive comments I get, I was at one of my motorcycle riding areas yesterday. People just walk up and say,"dude absolutely love your van"! My daily driver is a 530i which IMO one of the best driving cars on the planet, but I really enjoy driving this van. Another guy said, the euro vans have made vans cool.
