32 months and 31,000 miles and still no problems
Since a larger proportion of unhappy owners post, I thought I'd add my milestone. I meant to let the forum know when I crossed 30,000 miles a month or so ago ...
I've never had to take my 2004 E320 into the shop except for routine maintenance.

After 3.5 years/27K miles, still no major or recurring issues. A bad wheel speed sensor put the car in the shop for two weeks, but that's because the part had to come from Chermany. Other than that, only a few minor things like an audio system firmware update, a sticking ash tray door and several recalls, usually handled as part of regular maintenance. It hasn't been perfect, but then I'm not expecting perfection. It's a very complex machine. Our E39 BMW, not nearly as complex, had had many more issues by the same point.

My 2003 E500 has ben relatively trouble free. I do have a nagging check engine light that the MB dealer wanted $1,500 just to begin to trouble shoot the wiring harness. I decided to live with the light as it does not alter the driveability of the car. I have gone through three sets of brakes other than that and the car has performed nicely. I am about to turn 130,000 miles and outside of the stone chips on the front of the car, it looks and runs great.
