Hi everyone..so, I took delivery of this vehicle today and honestly, it drives greatly. All I replaced was the engine. Thanks everyone. Cheers.

The engine is a complete engine right? I asked bcus someone told me that a complete M272 cost about 600k. So I don’t know how true is it.

HeavenlyBang how far? Picked up the w211 on my bro's behalf yesterday and remembered the video you posted a while ago bout the E55 AMG. Saw this W211 E500 and can't wrap my head around how MB supercharged this M113 (engine always looks lazy grin) to produce those figures 18 years ago, almost 500hp in the SL55, and 469, in the E55 - although I've seen videos of some that were further modded above 500hp.

Security agents magnet cause of yahoo boys, police, SARS etc.
Constantly being stopped in almost every check point, having to identify ur self often, when other lesser cars are allowed to go b4 they even get close to the check points

Oh I'm young, my headlamps are even modified and flashy but they don't harass me. I think it's more about appearance and candor. I keep a beard but it's always neat and I'm usually corporate dressed

Yeah I think that's the key. I'm more on the conservative side with my glasses, they just know I'm not their customer

I believe it's the 5.5L variant that was supercharged. The one on the C55. Great engine, though.

The M273 is the one that really makes my heart beat faster. cheesy

Because it's a common knowledge that people with Benzedes are jobless (either Malaysian cocaine returnees or iTunes card-selling yahoo criminals. cheesy

Sell that shitbox add some money and get a Hilux and let me see why same policeman will not salute you whenever you drive around that checkpoint.

U just got my point. Don't mind those my guys above arguing that Appearance , good look will stop the time wasted stoppin at check points. B4 when I use to drive my oga s hilux if u are approaching a check point n police raise hand that you should stop, as u near them and they see it s hilux , they will ask u to continue going with bothering who abt ur appearance or look.

But hilux is very expensive to buy n maintain

Hiluxes are expensive to buy, but cheap to maintain.

Really?
I thought it was the other way round.
Also most govt. Agencies but manual trans mostly, is the auto trans nt good or something?

It's cheaper to buy manual variants of most vehicles, it's also considerably cheaper to maintain manual transmission as they're almost indestructible. The auto transmission are also good.

Diesel engines. Not petrol engines.
Diesel and petrol engines are all easy to maintain. If you can maintain a Hiace (hummer bus), you can maintain a Hilux.
