Here's that R230 Reliability article (very revealing) but it's in German :-(!

While the article also covers the disappointing shortcomings of the new BMW 7 series, I'll just focus on the new SL, which has not been covered by John Carver.
Caveat: I am NOT a UN translator. For certain words I used this translator: http://translator.dictionary.com/text.html The survey revealed some surprises regarding the prices paid. 87 % of all SL buyers paid the MSRP. The remainder was able to receive 5-10 % discounts and 1/10 of those buyers were able to negotiate discounts in the double digit range!
