I know it's not apples to apples....
My '85 380SL has 337K on the original engine. Never even had the heads off yet. Religious oil changes and maint by the book.
My '87 420SEL just turned 300K. Heads never been off. Same religious maint sched.
My other half drives a '93 190E 2.6, little nit picky stuff all the time.
We are presently on the "Don't fix the last thing that broke" plan with it. Seems to work, if you fix everything, something new breaks.
My boss drives a '04 600SL. He is out of town Monday thru Thursday every week. Car is flatbedded back to dealer twice a month while he is gone having 'little nitpicky' things done.
He has taken one of mine home twice in 2 years when his wouldn't go for some reason.
I think I am going to keep my oldies.
