Our 1998 E300 has definitely not been as reliable as our 1998 C230. Within 58,000 kilometers (about 40K-miles) we've replaced:

MAS

Glow plugs

Front crank seal

Rear crank seal

Final drive seals (all three)

ACC blower motor

Steering rack

Front lower ball joints

Steering damper

Belt tensioner & shock

Had the car been out of warranty, these repairs would have been THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of dollars. Before the warranty on this car is up, it will be sold.
