The drivetrain is really solid. The engine has a timing chain thats good for a very long time, and it doesn't have any really complex bits. The tranny is solid and is rated at something like 750 lb/ft.
The weakness is in the air ride suspension. Each corner has its own airbag and given enough time they will most likely start to leak. It used to be a huge deal because 1 new strut from MB was like 1200 bucks. Now there is a company that rebuilds them for ~400 per corner with a lifetime warranty.

Nope it is bone stock and it will probably be that way for awhile. I was totally happy with the way it drove. But maybe someday i'll get the itch!

I'm looking forward to racing people who dont know what these cars can do haha.
I feel like i should get a funny plate that says something like GRANDPA.
edit- another fun fact. No oil dipstick! You check it via a sensor in the oil pan (wtf) But there is a dipstick available and its considered a "special too.l" I bought one anyways!
