Unreal Mileage on an R350 M272 340K
I love R350s, have two, but don't regard them as high mileage vehicles with the M272. One of mine with a 160K has the timing chain stretch, rattle on start up. The other one has the intake flap problem at 120K. I was amazed when I found this one on eBay: 2007 R350
Note: This isn't my vehicle. I am not try to sell it or advertise it. I just thought it of interest as I have NEVER seen an R350 or an M272 with 340K
Am I just blind or not paying attention? What is your opinion on high mileage R350s or MBs with the M272

My 2010 R350 has just hit 247k miles. I bought it at 7500 miles and it still runs like new with little engine work needed. I am having the A/C fixed tomorrow, but most things have just been routine and maintenance.

I went 304k miles with mine before selling. She was probably good for another 100k but the body had become so rough and a few PIA type repairs required, I decided to move on. I bought it at MB Manhattan almost new, best car I have ever owned. 2010
