Do european delivery cars have Less problems??
I am reading about E-Class cars having some issues and my last Car from Porsche delivered in Michigan, had numerous problems,and I sold it before warranty expired.
On the other hand My S550-4matic picked up@ the Factory has had no major problems so far/46Kmiles/
Is it POSSIBLE that cars delivered in Germany and driven there have less problems?

So, you have a car with zero problems over 46K miles and you are asking if cars delivered in Germany have less than zero problems?

Yes, there are actually 2 completely separate assembly lines, one for European Delivery and the second one that produces S Class sedans for the rest of the world. Obviously the production line that produces cars for European Delivery is far superior and produces cars with zero problems.
This is a well known fact.....

Where on earth did you get this information?My '14 S550 4matic European Delivery was on the same assembly line as state side delivery.
I will be at the plant in Sindelfingen this summer and I will ask the same question again to verify that they have not changed the S Class procedure since my last Euro Delivery.

Feel free to ask the question, but I think you will be laughed out of Germany!...

Ya I know!
I only said that because the OP believed you with his/her "thanking you".
Of course I know you were joking but I want to make sure that no miss info. is spread around even though it is nonsense. Remember OP posted the question and posted a thank you to your off the wall answer.

As I've got a RHD W222 (bought I'm the UK) I'm curious if there is a separate line for them This would be more logical than any other partition, but I wouldn't expect any difference in build quality or reliability with LHD.
Will be checking it out when I'm in Sindelfingen next month! :-)
