The actual car it is in is an utter bucket of shoite, rust everywhere including at the rear where it cant be seen, every single part seems to cost 4 times more than a pug, the canbus wiring diagram (thats the wires that connect the ecus together, nothing else) is more complicated than all the wiring on most cars that age, they dont drive very sporty at all regardless of power like comfotable but boring, drink diesel unless on a m/way or A road, the board computer......dear god what an annoyance, auto only and to top it all off mine tried to kill me by a random codeless limp mode when overtaking at high speed (limp shut the engine OFF COMPLETELY in my cdi). I actually got my cdi after looking for months for a 300 and paid over the odds for the fsh 'low' amount of rust etc.
I'm sure there'll be more when I remember, now got an e39 5 series and tbh with nowhere the power/toys etc and even worse mpg is 100 times the 'driving' car.
If you want an om606 then for me it has to be all mechanical retrofit into a much older (read better) merc.
edit: after a re-read make that 100000 times the driving car..........
edit2: the fuckin cd player doesnt play cdrs/rws etc aftermarket head units just dont sound the same on the upgraded sound system
