My recollection is that they were problematic back in the day, but then improved dramatically, right around the time that Mercedes built the last W124.

I wonder...
Off and on I have been reading the 3-series forums, as I plan to get one in about two years/40,000 miles (the dub has to go to 200K). They have their problem areas but seem to be generally reliable. Some have said they're a genuine 300K car. I expect 300K from my Benz, even though it's an M-class. However the BMWs are more sporting, and available with a stick shift!
