Yes, the cars with the Mezger engines. They seem to fail much less - around 0.5 to 1%. Which is a very normal number if you campare it to other sports car manufacturers.

The DFI engines are new from scratch, that's right, But they also have problems.

I would go with a water cooled Mezger.

PS: Never forget, that the production in the Wiedeking era was driven by as low as possible production costs and by a maximum in production efficiency.
