For those with the 2005-06 CDIs, the car sounds great, but I was wondering if you could share your experiences of the cars' general reliability? I had read that Mercedes went through a dark period from about 2000-2006 and had produced a lot of lemons with many electronic gremlins.

I have also thought about upgrading from my '95 E300, but was afraid to mess with the reliability I enjoy now. This car is slow, but has been 100% on the reliability so far (owned for last three years).
