And also the BMW 4-series convertible may not be sold.

The past few days we had the trick not necessary, but if the outside a bit colder and you still want to drive open, the Airscarf system is still pretty nice. That ensures a stream of warm air on your neck so you can use even at lower temperatures nice and warm in the list. But that may now not be sold anymore, report various sources. Mercedes, and to a lesser extent, BMW, have a patent to have been infringed and as a result, the sales of the cars with that system are equipped immediately banned. Not only new, but also second-hand with that system that the dealer network of Mercedes (and also BMW). And there are quite a few.

The SLK/SLC, SL, SLS roadster, C-class cabriolet, the E-class cabriolet and also the S-class cabrio should all stay inside. And the BMW 4-series convertible that also. BMW has no cars with this system are equipped. Further, Mercedes also disclose how many cars with that system backed up. And indeed, BMW should do that, too. As a final punitive measure should the two brands to pay compensation to a certain mr. Schatzinger, that the patent has been around since 1998 on his name.

Then, there is news to report that this pain is a little eased. 1, it goes only to cars in Germany and 2, second-hand outside of the dealer network of Mercedes may still and 3, the patent expires in december of this year. If you plan to make for your sweetie with a SL under the christmas tree, no problem. By that time, the cars are completely legal.

Thanks to Dennis for the tip.
