They don't make em like the used to then. And our family 740 GLE was always very reliable.
The ETM complaint is that it is a very poor design, not that you can't expect things to wear out. The MM ETM should never have made it into a car, unlike the bosch replacement which does not suffer the same issues. If the original part was so good - why is there a specific warning light on the dash just for this component?
£200 for a replacement if you've reached 100k maybe ok. But until recently, people and lots of them, were being charged £600+
