Southern California Car I purchased this car from the original owner in San Diego with less than 11,000 miles in September 2013. The previous owner spent long periods traveling abroad, so the car was a driven maximum of only a couple thousand miles a year at best. After driving the up to Northern California and heading to the San Francisco Bay Area on the weekends, odometer reads just over 15,600 mile. The car never was really serviced beyond the normal oil service changes, so I had the car inspected and serviced to comply with any service bulletins and fix any issues. · Transmission adapter plug replaced · Accessory belts replaced · Cam magnet on the front of the motor replaced · Air filter, Cabin Filter and Fuel Filter replaced · Transmission Filter and Fluid replaced · Brake and Coolant flush · C-Pillar do not rub against the roof when down. Interior Condition These cars had a rubberized colored coating applied to the dash and center consul. And, this coating was color matched to the seat inserts. Over time, this coating peals to reveal the black surfaces underneath. So, when the red, white and blue interiors began to peal, the black surfaces would show though and really distract the look of those wonderful colors. The Charcoal Interior (like this one) at least does not draw you eye so quickly to the pealing. Most folks either live with it, remove the coating entirely or have it reapplied. Exterior Condition The paint on this car is like new! However, there are a few minor issues for a car that’s 15 years old. There are several millimeter size rock chips to the paint on the front, and a paint scratch on the divers side front fender well. I photographed the fender, but not the front as the chips where too small to photograph. Engine Compartment The engine compartment is clean and everything is easily accessible. These early models are easy to work on yourself, as the engine compartment predates all the plastic panels covering the engine found on the later releases and does not have all the complicated electronics and software found on those later models as well. Trunk The truck is absolutely flawless and looks the same as the day it left the factory. Inside the truck is the six cassette CD player, First-Aid Kit, Spare Tire and tools. AutoCheck Report I have AutoCheck’s Vehicle History Report from when I purchased the car and it rates the car at 90. Accident Check: NONE Full History Below are the historical events for this vehicle listed in chronological order. Any discrepancies will be in bold text.

BMW expects China to pass US as its top market in 2013
Thu, 11 Jul 2013When you combine two billion citizens, 100 cities with more than a million inhabitants and an economy that's as unrestrained as Jim Cramer on an Adderall binge, China's explosive auto industry growth shouldn't be a huge surprise. Audi already lists the communist country as its largest market, while Mercedes-Benz is expecting it to be there in the next few years. Now, according to a report from Automotive News, BMW is expecting the People's Republic to overtake the United States in sales by the end of 2013.
We already discovered the extent that BMW is going to in establishing a dedicated Chinese stronghold, when we explored BMW's Shanghai-based DesignWorks studio ahead of April's Shanghai Motor Show. And while we argued that DesignWorks Shanghai hasn't really borne fruit, it isn't due to a lack of sales.
BMW China has seen a 16-percent jump in year-over-year sales, lead by a 28-percent gain in 5 Series sales. Part of BMW's growth strategy comes from an ever-expanding dealership network. Remember those 100 cities we mentioned with over one million people? According to Karsten Engel, CEO of BMW's Chinese operations, those 100-million-plus city dwellers don't have access to a premium dealership.
New Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe spied in revealing state of dress
Tue, 19 Feb 2013During a product briefing earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz told us that 2013 would be the "year of the S-Class." Makes sense, too, since the flagship Mercedes is so very close to finally showing its production-ready face. But the high-tech saloon isn't the only S-Class to talk about this year - quite the contrary. Seen here in decidedly revealing camouflage, the new S-Class Coupe will be joining its four-door compadre in the not-too-distant future, as well.
When it launches, the S-Class Coupe will officially do away with the CL-Class nomenclature. This doesn't come as a huge shock. After all, when the new E-Class coupe and convertible were launched, it officially marked the end of the long-running CLK-Class designation.
Thanks to the interesting camouflage seen here, we have a very good glimpse at how the S-Class Coupe will look when all of the molding and swirly paper are peeled off. Rakish body lines pulled from the CLS-Class meet a much more dynamic front fascia. Out back, there are horizontal taillamps rather than the vertical units used on the current car, and the whole package seems very svelte. Our spy photographer even posits that this will be "the best-looking car from Mercedes-Benz in ages."
Firing of M-B boss upheld
Mon, 15 Jul 2013Ernst Lieb, the disgraced former CEO of American operations for Mercedes-Benz, will not be getting any more money from the Silver Arrow'd teat. His wrongful dismissal suit against MB's parent company, Daimler, was tossed out of a German appeals panel. This, followed the initial rejection by a lower court last year.
According to court documents acquired by Automotive News, Lieb was found to have "accepted payments of substantial value to which he - as he was aware - had no claim."
Lieb took over American operations from former CEO Paul Halata in September of 2006. Reports surfaced in October of 2011 that Lieb was dismissed from his posting at MB, with a variety of rumors swirling. Eventually, news broke that financial wrong doing was responsible for the German's firing.
