Firm believer in changing tranny fluid on schedule, never a problem- ran our 1995 BMW 170k and the tranny was still solid, even though car was a 20 footer paint wise.
After hot Calif sun all its life, rubber moldings are hard. Had water leak at left on rear window from the antenna wire put a lot of water into trunk, shorted out some wiring.
Intake flap broke, propped it open 50 k miles ago, no problem.
Paint failed on roof seam strips, headlight plastic lenses yellowed
No problems otherwise at this point . MBtex on seats still looks great.
