New ML320 CDI Delivery - Check Tire Presures!!

I just took delivery of a 2007 ML320CDI yesterday with Airmatic suspension. No matter which of the three settings I tried, the ride was not at all good - harsh, uncontrolled, rolling like a ship at sea. I was not at all happy.

This AM I checked the tire pressures, and they were way off. Rear was at 36-37 psig and they're supposed to be 38 or 39. Fronts were 37-38 psig and they're supposed to be 32.

Fixed the pressures to what they're supposed to be; and viola, I had a new car. The ride is now fine in all settings.

You would think that the dealer prep guys would have checked this. Obviously, not!
