In Europe diesel cars are more prevalent as tax law favors diesel over gasoline in many countries. As a result most manufacturers have perfected the cars to some degree. Id be looking seriously at cars that have a verified European track record.I’m looking at either a Mercedes GL or BMW X5. Both are offered in either a fuel efficient (relatively) but supposedly still gutsy turbodiesel or a thirsty V8. I’ve owned a few bmws and they are already potential money pits, but I’m wondering if throwing a diesel in the mix is good or bad.
and I was gonna mention the durability of the diesel jeep products. a swiss bro of mine has one and swears by it, but you started with Mercs and BMW's so never mind.

I have a bimmer, the main problems you run into are mainly on the early 2000's models mainly due to sensors and the motors overheat a lot.but generally speaking if you stay away from the turbo models they're great cars, just as reliable as any Honda. just more expensive to work on. they did make a diesel 3 series for a while.... the only complaint I heard was the paddle shifters were unrefined and the maintenance was more expensive.
