I've owned a few Mercedes and didn't find them really more difficult to work on than other cars of similar age I've owned. I haven't owned any that are really new, so that may have changed. I haven't owned any BMWs but their reputation for being difficult to work on and overengineered goes back decades.

There was an era where Mercedes were insanely easy to work on, with the detail you’d expect from unleashed German engineers.

I didn’t know the 123 hood folded all the way back until near the end of having one!
