Hey,
Not a problem or complaint thread, just wondering why Mercedes cars make such a thunderous roar when started cold, it almost sounds like they blip the throttle, hold it there for a second or two, and crack on as normal.
I'm assuming it's something to do with getting the oil moving along to protect the engine, or is this just one of those things certain line up of Mercedes cars do?
I've noticed my mates CL500 use to do this, my ML does this, and it seems the colder it is outside, the louder it is...
No rattles, bangs, pops or anything worrying, it actually sounds really nice, but caught me off guard the other night as I saw activity in my neighbours curtains and felt bad for waking them up (not decatted or running any weird modifications)
