I've put 40K on mine in the last 18 mo. No problems that haven't already been mentioned. One thing others did forget... 0-60 in 8.5 sec.!!!

Yeah, as a car nut, it's great to be able to balance my love of diesels and my love of quick cars. What a great engine... idles like a Cummins and revs like an Alfa. Best car I've ever owned.

Yeah, while I have sort of been trying to sell mine I have decided to pull it off the market again because I just can't replace it with anything as nice, reliable and safe for what I could get for it.

The car has been as trouble-free as any new car over the past 2-3 years and now, with 173K on it I really feel it has a few more good years left so I will put off buying a W211 for a while (again).
