Honestly I know most people on here think that the OM648 is a longer lasting engine but the electronics are not. For longevity I would go with the M272. You really can't beat it for cost of maintenance and fuel. They are bullet proof engines! OM648 Have issues its really not a reliable diesel engine anymore when it has more electronics than a gas engine. I do love a good OM648 though
