Not too much bad with the W210. Other then basic serciving such as brakes,fluids,tires and all the other basic stuff. This summer I did run into my first real issue such the bas/esp light and the control unit went and now the a/c system has a leak in it and the noise comming from the fron passanger side. Might be wheal bearings? I got 85,000 miles on my 2002 E320.
