The E320 - By far the simplest and easiest to repair/maintain of the three choices. I own an 00' and an 01', both RWD. They suck in the snow, but other than that, they're reliable, relatively fuel efficient, and drive like a dream.
Does the w220 have the brake by wire system like the 211?? An unfortunate thing about me is that I don't always shy away from the challenge.

Anything I'm looking at would be a 4matic at this point as I partially work on call for emergencies in the winter. Had a few situations with snow, etc and trying to get around in a rwd. I don't like fwd. A further question on the 220. Did the 722.6 tranys stop in 2003 in the 4matic, or do they go further?? Right now, I don't have any intention of getting a non 4matic car based on a few problems last winter...

Was looking yesterday, and was wondering what would be some good years in the ML to look at??

Were there any good years with the 722.9 tranny?? Or were there any updates to that tranny that would make it reliable?
