Now for the real news...

The battery is now a maintenance item. Every other oil change, while your car is under warranty, they will replace the battery. This applies to the N63 and N63tu and I suspect the S63 variants as well. Apparently the running of the cooling pumps/fans after the car is off, kills the battery over time.
The tech which I spoke to told me some items are going to replaced no matter what. Some items will be tested and only replaced after the test found to be faulty
