A Sensi at my son's dojo drives a W221 S500 and I recall asking him how he liked the car and he said it seems like every other month he's writing multi $K checks for fixes. Knowing him he probably takes the car to the dealership for service and he does not DIY anything on it.

My 2006 E55 has been mechanically bulletproof. I have replaced the keyless entry sensor in the drivers door ($275) and a blown speaker but that's about it beyond regular maintenance.
