There is nothing really to go wrong on these cars, 269k miles is nothing.

I hope you don't mean the E39, they need to be looked after
All cars of this age and size need to be looked after but if cheap-o-lux is the OP's preferred choice of motor then it's probably a safer bet than these Merc's. But, at this end of the market, these cars are for those who really do know what they're doing and perhaps asking questions like this on the forum is a sure-fire sign of impending pain and hardship

G-Grip are a model of BF Goodrich tyres and are actually rather good.
They aren't some Chinese HedgeMasters or DitchFinders.

I dont think kerosene is any less available here, i have a 2500L tank of it in my garden for exampleI have been reading a little about running cars on it recently, i'd like dannyw to try it for me
We just generally call it paraffin over here, hence the smiley
Expensive to run and unreliable I would presume. When they work they're great.

A refund? Blimey, is there a thread detailing this epic purchase?
Theres nothing epic about it?
I bought a 530d msport from a reputable garage, had done 130k, 2 owners, fbmwsh, the auto box was jerky and very slow off the mark, in a morning when it was cold it was smokey and felt like it had a misfire, I did a leak off test 2 injectors were shot, came with a 3 months warrenty but i just took it back and swapped it for a volvo with a peugeot engine + cash back
the reason i looked at mercs is i thought they had better engines and better auto boxes then bmws?

My dad's had a 2005 320 CDI purchased with 15,000 miles. Had the turbo replaced under warranty after 6 months.
Now after 100k, the only thing that has gone wrong is the sat nav ariel, which he replaced himself for 15 quid.
