I do. Seven years and 100k miles. There is plenty of life left in it. So far, other than the strut, the repairs would have been reasonable in cost. My only expenses have been services, gas, and tires. Still on the original brake pads and rotors.

2006 E55 78K miles
so far so good (own it for 4 months now)
Might need to do E service in 900 miles.
Also might need to change engine mount because of small vibration

Mileage...
2007 E350 (non Sport)
28940 + miles
No problems (knock on wood)
due for "C" service in about 1000 miles
pulsating brakes (I think warped rotors)
current factory warranty + 2 years CPO
Brakes Squeak every now and then
Smells like Roses when I turn on the A/C (annoying)
QUIET AND SMOOTH! A big improvement over the 02 E320

I'm sure I'm already in this thread, but I now sit at 92,000 and no warranty since the 48K mile one expired. Car was a MB buyback, which I purchased at 28K miles, and has performed brilliantly other than the common W211 niggles.
Although, my keyless-go has been flaky recently.

70,000 miles, no warranty since 48k.
One front air strut, two front parktronic sensors. Other than that solid.

I had that once on a previous car. I thought the sunroof opening/closing mechanism was broken but it turned out that it was just out of sync. My SA showed me how to re-sync it by hand and I didn't have to bother him that one more time it happened. Do you know how to do that ?

Purchased new, 03 with 57K miles, car has been very reliable and the best MB i've owned out of 3, no problems with the other 2, just that the E does everything better. So far replaced:
tranny mount
heater control valve
CD (6 disc) player
Just had first brake change at 55K miles, 1 year left on MB extended warranty

03 E500 and Corvette
That is a $20 part and easy to change. Wife and I changed ours in about 20 minutes. Normal failure due to small pulley size causing the pulley to turn faster rpm than other larger pulleys. Just watch it and change it when needed. Minor thing.
