I'd go with the 87.. Its slightly easier to work on..and... the W124 was probably the last great Mercedes...

(But of course the W123 was truly the last "indestructible" Mercedes)


Jeremy.. when ever referencing a diesel engine use, for example, OM6xx. Not M6xx

M- denotes a gas burner

OM- Denotes Oel Motor or a Diesel as we know
