There are three engines to choose from with US Sprinters:
OM602 -- 5 cylinder engine.
OM642 -- 3.0 V6
OM651 -- 2.1 four cylinder engine.
The OM642 is a smooth engine. The five-cylinder model is noticably rougher, but it can handle a higher percentage of biodiesel. The four-banger has had some good results, but it is more designed for short stops in a city as opposed to going up and down hills and long distance travel.
