Now that we put away the performance factor away ( i think for that matter than a 1st edition 300D and a late 240D are almost equivalent) we can start talking about the rest of the car...

1976-1980 300D
Horse-hair seats
Chrysler auto-climate
1stgen rust-proofing or no rust-proofing + galvanization only on structural members
pneumatic cruise control
EGR-free
Chrome-tail lights

240D 1982-83 (and 84-85 euro models)
Synthetic fiber seats
MANUAL climate control
2nd gen rust-proofing + Galvalization of bottom coque
electronic cruise control
EGR

Except for the EGR (that can be removed or disabled) in the 240D, pretty much every thing else is superior in the late 240D.
