    You mention it’s got a 9-speed ZF gearbox. It’s not as Mercedes’ don’t use the ZF, they make their own where as most other brands buy in the ZF.

    If someone is averaging 29mpg, they really shouldn’t have a diesel. Shows most journeys are short and eventually they are going to have DPF issues. I have a 430D and she averages 40mpg, that’s mainly motorway with some heavy foot blasting now and then. Mercedes isn’t my thing, digital cockpit looks decent though.

My BMW's on the otherhand have all been super reliable. I currently have a BMW M235i and that thing is a real hoot.....although Mercedes AMG/AMG Line cars look great, for me the way they drive, the road presence, the excitement that comes from driving them is not on par with a BMW.......
