    I'm new to the family. I have some questions on Mercedes and BMW's. I've seen there's owners of both and I'm sure plenty of you who have driven both.

    So I go out to the garage yesterday to head to the store and my 99 323i (130k) greets me with a loud "click click" when I try to start it. ugh The on-battery indicator is green, and a quick multi-meter post-to-post measure was around 10 or so. Hooked up the charger and set it to "start" mode...
