Hi there! I'm planning to purchase this MB model, is this a good choice? It's a Euro version w/ only 50,000km on it's clock. Will I have concerns with it's M104 wiring harness problems in the future? One more thing, I checked its VIN and it doesn't verify in the VIN decoder, the unit was imported from Germany. Any advice will be so much appreciated, thanks!

Also you need to read the VIN directly of the plate in the engine compartment which should be on the radiator support for a Euro car.
