Re: [MBZ] W210 with M112
M112 is a very bulletproof engine with good longevity and low maintenance costs/requirements. Know issues? Probably the only thing I can think of is the breather getting leaky, which is a once in a 100k issue. -D > On Nov 25, 2021, at 11:42 PM, OK Don via Mercedes > wrote: > > Our son is going to look at a 2002 E320 4matic tomorrow.

Re: [MBZ] W210 with M112
It does have a balance shaft but I've not heard of any design/manufacturing defects with it in that model engine. The ones to watch out for are the M272/273 engines.
