I appreciate the car has Active Body Control which probably helps but I would think yours does to.
Avoid this engine, I am starting to see a lot of big problems for owners that bought it new in 2019 and have now from 150.000km to 200.000km. Up to 150.000km it is all good, between 150.000km and 200.000km some big problems are starting to occur and after 200.000km it has really big mechanical problems that is sometimes easier to replace it with a donor engine (camshaft failures, turbo failures,...).
It is better to buy W205/S205 up to 2018 that has OM651 engine like your older S204 C-class or switch to gasoline C250 2-liter engine if you are buying new Merc. If you don't want to buy newer one, just drive your S204, it is still in a good condition.
