I really like the 210 chassis in general and the E420 in particular. Those motors (M119) really are pretty tough motors, same as what the earlier E420 had in them. They are more fun to drive than the later E430, IMHO, more of a "peak" in the torque curve that makes it funner to drive. The E430 is powerful, but a flatter torque curve. I wouldn't turn either one "down" so to speak. YES the spring perches should be closely scrutinized, they like to break especially on the heavier engined E420 and E300Diesel. Any way you can get an experienced MB tech to look it over with you??
