I've talked to two mechanics here in Houston who are Mercedes-only and have been in business for over 25 years each. When I asked this same question to them, both of them (without hesitation) said "get the V6". Also, the V6 will have the 5-speed transmission - another plus.

POS, Thanks for the reply!
Also, if this has been discussed before than could someone post the link to that thread please. I have tried to search myself but have come up empty.
Furthermore, I know that some members have both of these cars and it would be great to get a write-up comparing the two different w210s.
