The W212 is one heavy chassis to muscle around with 4 Cylinders engine.

OMG THIS!!! I've been telling people this, never buy a four cylinder luxury car, they're far too heavy to mull around on only four cylinders, and you know you're going to drive it hard, so cheaping out on the motor makes me think that you've bought your car for the badge alone, the worst type of purchase.
Mercedes AMG might make the highest output 4 cylinder, but imagine being a high output four cylinder, that has to tow around four to five thousand pounds by default, that's a hard life.

Well, considering that the same engines are actually detuned for installation in 10,000 lb Sprinters.....
