Second the W210. An E320 will get the job done, an E430 will do it that much faster and there's always the E55 - but you'd probably go slightly mental not being able to unwind that car too often. I'd go for the E320 for your commuting needs, given the short distances and for city gas consumption. The M112 is a great, peppy engine! Mind you, going from an S600 turbo to an E320 would hurt, so yeah, maybe the E55...
