Default Lifetime of 200K engine?

Hey again.
I wanted to ask the people who own an R171 SLK 200K about the lifetime of the engine and which are the most common problems that appear first? Since it is a 4-cylinder engine i imagine that on 70-80,000km typical problems occur?
Thanx.

33.000 miles and touch wood not a single problem. Your estimate of 70000 km seems rather low!

As long as you maintain the car properly and take it to the services from time to time, it will stay for a very very long time.

My uncle has a 60's 280SL pagoda and it is till running like a new car.
