Darrell, what kind of mileage does your 740 get? There is a 260E for sale in my area, but I figured those were way underpowered. It apparently needs a new fuel distributor though...

I wouldn't think a 420 gets much better mileage than a 560? Maybe I'm asking for the impossible... a reliable used luxury car with good power and mileage...?

Thanks. How about costs of repairs/parts for each? I gather that it doesn't pay to go to a MB dealer for repairs; I'm guessing it might be similiar for Beemers, but what about cost of parts? From...

Looking for a used car and I've narrowed it down to either or a merc; I am leaning towards a merc. Any opinions on how a beemer compares to a merc? Quality, fun, driveability, reliability...?Thanks.
