2002 C200 Kompressor with M111.955 engine

My mechanic uses Mobil 1 synthetic (euro spec). 7 quarts at $85 per quart.

I run it for 10 000km minimum. (I tend to use mileage not time for my service intervals)

Correct. There are times when I've used super and found it sluggish. Premium and the kompressor purrs like a tiger.

Thanks Ru$$el.

The Anker reviews has been good.

Personally I find the clamps a bit flimsy but it gets the job done.

Cost? My 3 year old Anker jump starter just died on me. The battery became swollen and I started getting an error message. From the looks of it, the majority of them looks similar in design. I ended buying another one on amazon. Not a brand I know but the reviews were good. https://www.amazon.com/gp...

Re: 4-10yr old BMW really THAT expensive to maintain?

Gladiator do you service at the dealer?

My 16 year old euro costs a lot more than that annually over the last 3 years ... I do more preventative maintenance tho. Because of the age I try not to wait for something to fail.

Re: 4-10yr old BMW really THAT expensive to maintain?

I could be wrong but there isn't much local support from the dealership for hybrids.

I know of someone who bought a 330e for around $300k with the tax exemptions... so this IMHO is overpriced.

The C180 with the AMG package is nice.
