I'm pretty happy with my OM616, 275,000 miles and it seems strong. IDK, maybe I'll investigate it and become that guy with all the cars laying around.
Any big tips when looking at one of these w201's? I'll research the crap out of them like I did with my 240.

Having seen several, and owning one, I will say that the OM601 seems to have a less robust frame than the 123. I don't overload it, but the car I have runs well, is just not as peppy as a MT with a 2.5. I'd be interested in getting a 190D MT or a complete 2.5 engine+MT+drive shaft if the price was reasonable.
