I'd recommend no more than 20% biodiesel, it runs fine in the 606 because of the injection pump. However in the 648 the injectors shoot at a higher pressure and it is very easy to clog it up. That goes with any common rail diesel though

Btw there's a W-210 E-290 Turbo Diesel that uses the old 1980's OM-602 5-cylinder bored and stroked from 2.5l to 2.9l with direct injection as opposed to 602's original in-direct.

Heck I've seen 601 and 602's running on cooking oil with no modifications at all. 12:37 CLS-Class also has your Sensotronic Brake Control
I like them all! I think for longevity, probably the W124, although getting parts is harder all the time. The W210 has the best ride, and the W211 has the best features and most power. Also, the W211 has been the most trouble free for us!
Actually the part about quantity of sbc cycles is not true… the errors come from either blown pressure accumulator or brushes worn out on the motor. Very easy fix…
I still prefer the W210 bodyshell (exterior & interior dashboard instrumentation design etc.) but with updated engines & air-suspension from W211. I never like the idea of changing too drastically the appearances from 1 generation to the next just to look 'different' as function must prevail over form. e.g. the black-white bar fuel gauge in W211 is horrible, way too difficult to read clearly compared to the classic proven swing-needle style with the amber colour needle set against warm-white character lighting...that's way more ergonomically superior presentation. As far as i'm concerned, they should have continued such old-school gauge style even for the newest models but of course nowadays done virtually via simulating the analogue gauge via high resolution graphics on modern flat panels instead.
The W210 chassis had horrible rust issues with the new 'eco' water based paints. Ruined my otherwise mint condition 1996 E320 with the smooth M104 inline 6. I loved that car...

So first of all its your car do what you want. But please don't teach people stupid stuff. Biodiesel is for a D2( thats what real, old diesel fuel is called, one that came before EuroDiesel fuel) as Ethanol for a Petrol engine. These Engines like a bit of it because Eurodiesel lacks essential Oils and Sulfur that lubricates the injection system. In Europe some people use 2 stroke oil and they would dump a small bottle in a tank from time to time when refueling. But running Full Biodiesel for a long time will gunk up your injection system. And running Full Eurodiesel will shorten your engine lifespan. Noticeably, but not catastrophically. Second Real diesels( not lean running ones) pre common rail(pre TDI) do not Produce NOX in quantities that Modern cars do. They produce similar amounts to Gasoline cars. Tiny compared even to Most modern Diesels. And third CDI is not a Turbo engine its a Supercharger engine that's why its snappy, but it also doesn't have top end power compared to the Turbos.
