Ahh, not true. They had engine wiring harnesses made from easily recyclable materials that recycled themselves while still in the car.
They had fancy oil analysis systems that told you when to change the oil. Use the recommendations of one of those, and you'll have an engine burning oil by 60,000 miles.
The early M-class had a defective fuel pump design that was guaranteed to strand you.
The 1990s era SL had a power top design that used umpteen hydraulic actuators that will fail, any of which will render the top incapable of going up or down.
Buy a 2000-era S class and watch your money disappear as you repeatly replace the in-dash screen that you need to run some of the car systems.
The point being, they had all sorts of problems, that were from bad designs and bad materials.
