[QUOTE="Corbic, post: 16257140, member: 171475"] V10 M5 and V8 M3, rod bearing replacement is standard maintenance at 65k miles. What kills be about Zer Germanz is they have historic issues that go back 30 years and just refuse to fix. Plastic Water Pumps, VAIOS issues that require a whole new head when it fails, window regulators, subframe cracks, airbags leaks, fiber optic stereos, Coil Packs, MAF sensors, electrical systems so bleeding edge they fail and cost thousands. My G55 - ignition failure, Common problem, $1,500 to swap out a cheap Chinese part and flash the Ecu. Another Benz failure is the steering column lock, the motor fries and you basically have to replace the column. $$$$ (or the DIY of remove the column, grind the welds, cut the lock, get a aftermarket motor, soder the wires, test the voltage, bolt in the former welds and reinstall and hope the EIS recognizes the motors voltage range and doesn't lock down the Ecu) Legit Street Cars on YouTube, guy does a great job and is a huge Benz fan. But it's assining the amount of stupid fixes he has to do on what are 10 year old cars. Euro cars should only be leased. [/QUOTE]
