While having this work done on my Saab We have discovered my front subframe is rusted. The car spent just a few years in northern KY and southern OH and I am stunned by this. Luckily it is not a complete rust thru. So I am going to be wire brushing it and repairing it as best I can. Pisses me off. This car is nothing like my old 9-3s. Those cars are far superior

Does it have any holes in it? You should do a video about it.

My 2 cents on the GLK250 (OM651): 1. Use MB approved motor oil (229.31/229.51) as you mentioned. 2. Change the front & rear gear oil. (rear is easy, front is a challenge since there is no refill). 3. Exchange, not just fill, the DEF every 2 years using a fluid pump to get all the old DEF out and fill with fresh to prolong the DEF system and avoid the crystallization inside. 4. It is very important to change the diesel fuel filter every 2 years. Especially with those renewable and B20 diesel fuel which is derived from corn, pork fat, etc. I know MB is very expensive, but genuine MB filter has Mann filter logo and part number on it, which costs about 1/2 of the price.

Can you recommend a good cheap fluid transfer pump to pull out the DEF? I need to do this on my 540d since I don't drive it as much.

I bought a cheap 12V fluid transfer pump from Harbor Freight. A cheap manual pump will do the work as well. Just don't spill any DEF.@@youtoobe169

That front driveshaft story. I believe someone told me the same story about my 2011 bmw 328xi wagon. That person is a true enthusiast of everything BMW. He told me most people prefer the rear drive 3 series due to the fact the X models have the front shafts traveling thru the oil pan 😮. I was stunned. What a freakin mess So the GLK is the same ?

Apparently so. I am just going to keep driving it until it becomes an actual problem. So far so good.

Looking to buy exact same car, with about 105k miles. The seller wants 13k for it. Should I go for it? How’s the fuel consumption?

I did some videos about the fuel consumption and what to expect owning one if you'd like to check them out.
