To much to list for issues unfortunately which is to bad because I go out of my way to take excellent care of the car and replace any parts before they should go bad yet I still have bad luck.

2009 E350 Sport
1) 2009 E350 Sport
2) 57600
3) Broken sunroof wind deflector; and KEYLESS-GO Rear Door Handles (both of them) malfunctioned (at first, lock button didn't work & unlock paddle would lock the door... eventually no buttons worked at all). All fixed/replaced under CPO extended warranty. Most recently, main battery died & wouldn't keep a charge. Dealer charged $286 to replace battery.
All minor nuisances in my opinion. This is my 2nd W211 (previously 2003 E320). These are GREAT cars.
On my 2003, at 92000mi, my lower front ball joints were sloppy causing the car to pull and chew through tires. NOTHING else was wrong with it. Very solid otherwise.

E320 & X166
unfortunately only 129,100 miles. I was running through about 25k a year but changed jobs about 11 months ago and have only put on 4500 miles in that time. She is close to perfect. Replaced my first battery two month ago, it was 10 years old!!!! It still started every time but I could tell it was only a matter of time. About to change lower thrust arm bushings (those too are original from 2003). It has easily been the best car I have ever owned.
