e55211 traded in for CLS55
Kept the e55 (03) for two years (17K miles) and did not have any issues.

2009 C63 Black on Black
Talking 2 years next month !

I have had my W211 2003 E55 for two years next month & no problems at all.
Awhile back I took it in to the dealer for the "pulling to the right" syndrome and they fixed it with no hassle. It has been a pleasure to drive these past two years and I have 16,000 trouble free miles. I may mos it depending on whether a TT E63 comes out or not. Good luck!
