I think in this case, it's the 5-speed that's desireable, coupled with the turbo 2.5 in the lightweight w201 chassis. If you could fit the 603 in, then you would have a hell of a car, theoretically. However the 603 turbo has a problem with the cylinder head cracking. That is one caveat.
I would really like to see a w201 with a 5-speed and an OM603 turbo. Go for it.
