How difficult are these to change?

Most of the ones I've bought cars from have been a shower of s..t.  There have been a couple of exceptions that were very good.

On two occasions had to threaten small claims court before they did warranty work which should have been done pre-sale.

I work for Merc off and on but my own car is an E70 35d. The GLE seems to be slightly less spacious than the X and whilst it's a personal thing, I don't like the Merc interiors.  The 350 engine in the Merc feels a bit lacklustre to me, it doesn't have the grunt of the X.

Hunter alignment needed.

An honest dealer - now there is a rarity !

Breaker ?

I went from runflats to non-star standard tyres, I think I fitted Kumho, which are standard fit on VW and some Merc, so reasonable quality. I was very sceptical about the non-star tyres supposedly causing transfer box problems, so went ahead, new fronts and rears together. After a short time I notic...

A good BMW dealer, not sure I've really found one for service yet !

Interestingly, I had the same experience with Ocean BMW in Plymouth - they tried to overcharge me until I pointed out the online prices which they claimed they were unaware of !
