I believe only the 616 does not come with an oil cooler, The 300D Euro TD I had once, had one.

The cloth seats that my euro 85 had were not only a "pukoshious' baby crap color, but the outboard panels were not MB tex like all other euro cloth seats I've seen.
Which meant they were really hard to keep clean.
