I would agree. 211s are a step up from the 210 which is a very solid car. Neither particularly exciting but the 211 E500 can be quite entertaining. I don’t think they are too temperamental or difficult to work on, the biggest issue is the 722.9 transmission but a E320 4matic has the 722.6 which is pretty much bulletproof. I’m not sure if a 350 or 500 4m would have it or not. Avoid the bad 350s.
