W211 the OM648 is the best engine, the gassers had too many problems and are 'bleh' engines overall.

Too bad Mercedes never built an m112 powered w211. They might have had a real winner on their hands. Or you know what would've been really amazing? What if Mercedes took that reliable and easy to maintain m112 V6 and added 2 more cylinders to make a 5.0 or even a 5.4L V8. They could've called it m113.It's a real shame that Mercedes never did that. Oh well, what could've been.
