My '07 SLK55 that I owned for 5 years before the Alfa was the most reliable car I ever owned - despite being autocrossed and track driven for 5 years and daily driven for the first 2 of those 5 years. Same motor as the E55 from '96-'02 (pre-supercharger.) The dash display even showed "M113E55" in the maintenance menu, with M113 being the engine code.
