Arkie is right. I had an E320 and now have an E430. The car is a lot more "plug & play" than the E320, although that was reliable too. There's nothing to adjust - just wait for something to fail. My nits:
- Interior CAN bus gremlins are tough to troubleshoot (lose all windows, reset battery to fix, repeat)
- Headliner is sagging in the rear - the W124 had a better one.

We don't see much interior CAN problems on the W210 for some reason, we see more on the W220 and W203 (door control modules, seat modules, rear SAM's). Gotta love cars that lose their battery overnight!
