This is what I've done on mine so far, there are a few things I haven't documented here yet but they'll come soon.

At you current mileage you need to replace the spark plugs, as per maintenance manual.

Since you're at 90k, I expect you did the ATF service and engine air filters at 80k along with A/B service. Plugs should have been done at 60k. Beyond routine maintenance, I've had a headlamp go bad that required the whole assembly to be replaced. And the comand dial stopped turning and the module was replaced.

I have a 2010 E550 with 151,xxx km which is about 93,xxx miles. So far I haven't had any issues with the car other than the wood trim fading (easy fix by wrapping it in carbon fiber vinyl), I did the oil changes regularly and air filter was changed as soon as I purchased the vehicle (2 years ago). I've taken 3000km trips with zero issues. Though the biggest issue I had was the stinky AC smell which is easily fixed by a foam cleaner (there's tons of threads on this). I also purchased new Michelin Pilot Sport A/W 3+ tires with zero complaints from regular driving (there was some weird tire noise as 190km+, when I was passing a semi). My airmatic doesn't seem to leaking and the suspension still feels good. Though I do have a Canadian E550 which are built a little differently from the US market. If you have anything questions you welcome to ask!
