The M103 in a W124 is a perfect fit though....its pretty quick!


Yes M103 + W124 is nice, can you believe the 2.6L version was found in the SWB W126 in Europe

560s aren't that bad on the freeway if you don't go 80mph, I got mid 17s a few times going about 65mph. My econ has been real low as of the last 6-9 months due to a seized fan clutch, I just replaced it last week. 560sel really needed a 2.24:1 rear diff and first gear start for the US.
