It depends on what you want out of the car. I tend to be willing to forego conveniences in favor of mechanical simplicity and ease of service. In my opinion, I say go for the 92. I had a 91 for 3 years and loved it - my favorite car ever. The M103, though not as refined, is far simpler and somewhat easier to work on. It's also less prone to head gasket failure than the M104 (I currently have an M104-based E klasse and it suffered head gasket failure twice, whereas my M103 never had issues). The M103 didn't have wiring harness issues either. Maintenance overall on an M103 tends to be less expensive compared to the M104.
