Of course not.
Doesn't this model have the 603 turbo? I've driven a 1980 240D at 75 mph and my E300 can easily break that.
My guess is a transmission problem if the engine is running fine. Did Mercedes have the "limp-home mode" this long ago? I know if the computer in my E300 detects a serious problem the transmission won't shift out of 2nd gear. This could be what's limiting it to 40mph.
