The emissions system isn't that big of a deal. Considering how everything else on the car is about 5x as reliable as the old ones I don't mind if I have to change an occasional sensor or Clean the DPF out every 50-70k miles. The relentless torque and driving dynamic makes it well worth it. Not to mention close to double the average fuel economy I used to get with my 420SEL. Really adds up when driving 1,500 miles+ a month!
Plus, they don't rust....at all, thats HUGE.

Where do you get the low ash liquimoly?
