Yes, in spite of this it is considered a good car.

Yeah, it's not as if Mercedes (who made the vehicle he's talking about) or BMW are German.

You don’t know much about cars. All the work they had done on their vehicle was typical for that model generation. Air suspensions are generally problematic because of constant wear mixed with parts issues, and A/C problems are common in that model generation. This is all normal stuff to fix over twelve years.
