I kind of knew that was probably the issue as the same happened on the w124 as well. The car starts when cold but then just stops in the middle of nowhere. Unless one drives with a spare CPS at all times, how would one avoid the tow on a weekend when the shops are even closed. But I suggest that owners just change it every 60K miles or so to prevent this as CPS seems to be such a known issue on the w124 and w210s. Not sure how the other models are when it comes to this.
