mtnman82, I would have the dealer check the engine control module programming to make sure the latest SW has been flashed in.
The 1.8l c230 m271 engines have been a touch problematic with misfires caused by carbon. There are updated valves, guides, and springs and this is a pretty common issue with this motor.
Otherwise, they are a great little car.

Think the dealer is expensive? Do you know how much it costs to train a dealer tech? Or buy the required MB special tools to have on hand?
