From what I hear its pretty likely to occur but the vast majority of times its a pretty simple fix for the dealership. They do a consumption test and change some valve. There is an oil level meter in...

Conti DWS

I've been pretty happy with my continental dws, a bit hard to balance right the first time (I suggest you go to someone that knows how to do a good road force balance) but have not had any issues...

Either that or the wheel bearing could be causing these symptoms. I'd have the dealer check it out after you put the new rim on. And don't mention your mishap, let them figure it out otherwise they...

My 2011 had consumption problems too, so it's not just limited to 09 (and it's a very easy fix for them at this point) but I would agree that 2010 is the way to go bc of the terrible control arms on...

Bent rim

So the latest diagnosis from the dealership is a "slightly bent rim". Apparently its bent just enough where it still balances fine but vibrates at 75mph+.

More observations...

So after doing some more driving I am starting to get the sense that the vibration actually increases the longer you drive. At first there is only a slight vibration at 75 but the longer you drive...

I actually started having this issue right around when I put on my conti dws'es, had no issues back when I was on pirellis but perhaps that's just coincidence.

I heard if you glue a big "supercharged" badge to the side it will add at least 15hp (maybe more if you use OEM badge)

You are trading in a car because you don't like the spacing of the speedometer?

If you don't mind me asking, what car are you trading it in for?

Merc=Bad

I have not seen many post 80's Mercs do 200K without needing extensive repairs. That kind of mileage in any car will end up costing you some money. IMO something like an Acura (TL/RL) will be your...

Right after reading this thread I actually received a letter in the mail from serius offering a year of full sat radio for 86. Sounds a lot more reasonable than 152 for a full year.
