They could've called it m113.It's a real shame that Mercedes never did that. Oh well, what could've been.

The problem with the very brief run of the M112 powered W211 is that it was a first year car and had tons of electrical issues. A guy who lives down the street has a 2004 E320 and the entire dash has lights on Still drives though!
Guess it comes down to dealing with rust, or electrical issues in that case.
The M113 is a fantastic engine also....but REALLY thirsty.
