Small scratch on lower right front bumper (pictured), paint peeling on 1 wheel (pictured-other 3 as new), some minor stains on cargo carpet (pictured), two small dings (1 on roof, 1 on quarter panel-they don't show up in photos), small scratches on rear bumper (also doesn't show up in photos).  We were hit on the passenger side within a week of buying it.  It was professionally repaired at my request by Mercedes-Benz collision in Knoxville, TN, which did a stellar job. I've loved owning & driving this car.  It handles wonderfully, is perfectly balanced, very nimble, gets great traction in rain & snow, shifts precisely with ease, is incredibly comfortable, reliable, efficient, yet practical & roomy without being big.  In many ways, this is an ideal vehicle design: sporty, functional & beautiful.  You can do it all in this car while looking looking stylish and sophisticated.  Rarely will you see another one on the road, which makes it feel special too.  We have 5 cars now and unfortunately we must part with one.  Time for the next owner to enjoy and care for it, hopefully as we have.

The cargo area (with seats up) measures 41" deep, 44' wide & 28" high.  I've just discovered 2 messages in the iDrive control this morning: 1. The right reverse light bulb and license plate lights read malfunctioning.  I changed the bulbs but it still reads as malfunctioning by the iDrive.  The car is in great shape otherwise, looks practically new and drives wonderfully.  It handles really well and does great in snow too.  I do have set of OEM 17" wheels (great for winter use) that I will include with the "buy it now" option. Thanks for your interest.
