Is it any different than the E430, anybody had the transmission or engine problems, I looked on autotrader there are not many for sale over 120000k,

regular e320 e430 go up too 250000k and still for sale

I can't speak to the quality issue.....but my guess is that the difference in mileage is probably due to how the cars are used. The E320/E430 models probably spend a lot more time as a daily driver commuting and running errands/shopping, shuttling kids than their E55 counter part.

I had two - a 1999 and 2001. I think they are probably just if not more reliable than an E430. Zero issues out of either up to 72k.

I would not be scared of one with 100k+. Just typical issues (cluster pixels, etc.).
