The 3.0 liter 6-cyl inline 24-valve (300E-24, 300TE-24, 300CE-24) was installed in the sedan, wagon, coupe and cabriolet around the late 92 to the late 93 production run on the models sited.
The M104 3.2 inline (not V-6) liter 6-cyl. 24-valve suplanted that engine from early 94 on.

Excellent post, but in U.S. models, the early 3.0 liter 24 valve M104 engine was last used in model year 1992 models in W124's.
Model Year 1993 300E's have the new 3.2 liter or 2.8 liter M104 engine.
Those with the 2.8 liter M104 engine are badged 300E 2.8.
Those with the 3.2 liter M104 engine are badged 300E. The genius marketing people opted to not call this a 320E (as in the rest of the world), 300E 3.2 (to follow the U.S. pattern), or even E320.
