The problem with the facelift is that if you opt to get the 6 cylinder, it's the new M256 inline 6 mild hybrid. The engine looks like a marvel of engineering, but on the 53 forums they have been nothing but a nightmare and I can't imagine how they will age. I drive less than 10 miles a day, get me a C140 with an M113/ 5g tronic and I'll just ride it out until I'm dead.
The 48V mild hybrid is a nightmare yes that is correct, it took Mercedes a few years but I think they are almost there to get it perfected.

MBWorld Fanatic!
I have sit a few W213s and none of them showed signs of diminishing quality spots at all .I must admit, I was impressed by their interiors because it reminded me of W222s as well. Overall, I prefer W212 styling , if W213s had been successor to W211s (hence it would get a different name lol ) I would not place any bad comments for exterior design wise
