nope.  That IS sacrilege.The M180 is smooth and quiet.  A 350 is not.

It does looks nice, except for the "upgrades" to the fuel system which are
anything but.

Good point, may be other similar "repairs" not disclosed.  All the cheap 
Mercedes I've bought have arrived with "repairs" that needed to be undone, the 
real problem diagnosed and then properly repaired.
