I have an 81 240D manual with 200K on a rebuilt motor. I have read often that they do just great at 80mph all day long but I really just dont see that as a likely possiblity on mine. It's screaming so loud above 75 that it just feels wrong to me. Of course just about every suspension component and such needs to be replaced as well as they are all original with 385K in them so maybe it would be nicer at 75+ after that's done but I have yet to be convinced.
