Our 05 230K has been fairly trouble free so far. Had a blower motor replaced under warranty, a vacuum line went bad (not covered under warranty), and the passenger side rearview mirror motor replaced under warranty. There were a handful of service campaigns early on related to the m271 but those were taken care of before we purchased the vehicle.

Other than that, annual service will cost a couple two three bills unless you do it yourself. If more than 50K miles look for transmission fluid and filter change and if more than 5 years look for new spark plugs. DIY brake pads and discs will run $500+ish using OEM parts if you've got the sport package.

Right now our sunscreen is stuck up and the button that lowers the rear headrests is non-op (though I took one rear headrest out to make room for a car seat and wonder if that might be a reason).
