The day I picked up my wife's 212 350 I looked under the hood just for giggles. After a quick scan I shut it - then put the wife in the drivers seat and we went towards home - right from the showroom floor. About 1/2 way home I looked in the mirror and saw the 350 hood was slightly misaligned (passenger side was not fully latched)... I called the wife and pulled over. She released the hood and I shut it with some minor effort. Guess what? Hood shut and the gaps were now perfect.
No call to dealer. No obsessing. No thought of walking. No issue. That's just me though...
I guess MB better design an electronic closer for the hood that matches the electronic trunk closer or fear retribution from the masses.
