Unusual but big problem

Have an 07 c230 sport, bought it roughly 2 years ago. For the third time the flywheel is cracked. Quick back story, I bought it from a Mercedes mechanic who owned the car as his daily driver. He blew the engine, and replaced it with a 3.5L, 2.5L was the size of the factory engine. About a month after I bought the car it devoloped a tap/knock that turned out to be a cracked flywheel, previous owner (a friend) changed it for the part cost. About 14 months later, same problem, paid 900 for a Mercedes specialist to change it again, and not even 4 months later the new flywheel is damaged. I don’t even know what to do. I really love the car, expect for the obvious issue it’s a great car. I don’t want to trash it, but doing another same repair seems like a waste. I always set the tranny in comfort mode, never drove it hard, but that didn’t seem to matter. I’m grateful for any suggestions or advice. Thank you

Starter can damage the flywheel. Have you ruled this out?
