You are likely to have electronic problems with almost any newer European car, but if you decide you MUST have a Euro-nameplate, especially a high-performance one, look at the Audi S-series or Volvo R-series.....they are a little more reliable than M-B's or Bimmers and have the benefits of All-Wheel-Drive.
Before you buy any of the above, however, check out the 2005 Legacy / Outback Turbo...or non-turbo versions if you don't need the power. I think you will be amazed at the fit-and-finish of this car inside and out for the money. It is totally unlike any previous Subaru product ever sold here....essentially a Lexus at a Subaru price.

The only thing I had to do to my 95 LS400 was to replace the aluminum wheels with chrome ones, change the oil, and go. My current LX is simply a jewel compared to the MB or BMW products.
Go with your heart as long as it's set on the new GS.
