That’s wonderful to hear, Sir! Long may it continue to provide you with comfortable and effortless transport 🙂
What I have heard is that MB got a good part of its quality back after Schrempp had finally thrown in the towel in December 2005. Sadly, it never reached the old levels of quality again, for which the firm had been famous.
Too much electronics…and other manufacturers are suffering from an excess of them, too.

What folks are posting about M-B in terms of the downhill slide in quality is gospel truth. My cousin is a factory (in Germany) trained Mercedes technician. He has been doing this since the 1970’s. No one loves M-B’s more than him. He will be the first to tell you that M-B is no longer the company that he once revered. They went cheap on real stupid stuff like engine wiring harnesses. Perfectly good car (mechanically) with a wiring harness that constantly finds a new place to fail. Klaus (my cousin) said that this was a failure plague across the entire M-B line up.
When you don’t do quality wiring harnesses, then a vehicle that has electronics EVERYWHERE is going to be less than stellar. SAD.
