Two very obvious reasons for this:
1.
BMWs are thrashed and driven hard much more
2.
After 5 or so years it falls into hands of young Speedy-racer types who rarely bother to service it and literally rape the car.
On the contrary mercs are much more often bought and kept for longer periods of time, mercedes buyer is different and usually far more mature in both age and attitude hence a car that is better upkept and lasts longer.
And yes, mercs are more robust.
Although I'd reserve this statement for pre-1995 MBs only
