just bought a 24 X3, it was $2k less than a similarly equipped GLC, along with the 'free' 3yrs maintenance with the BMW, it was a no brainer. MB needs to provide free maintence for at least 2yrs to keep competitive. MB thinks their buyers don't care about prices, well I guess I am not a MB buyer.

Make no mistake: this GLC's beautiful interior benefits from the very nice "enhanced ambient lighting" option. Mercedes is known for delivering cars without it. I bought a "GLC 300e AMG-LINE" which should have been equipped with this option. Well the car was delivered without it and basically they said: "Bad luck Mr. customer: there's nothing we can do about it. It's due to a shortage of semi-conductors". If you don't believe me, ask your dealer: They have an internal memo explaining this problem. Of course: NO REFUNDS and NO “RETRO-FITTING”. I got a lawyer envolved and the offerd 1400 EUR to spend in their dealership. I refused so we will go to court. Sad but true story.
