I tried fitting an Interstate MTP-93 battery into the W124 E420, which has the same trunk battery setup as the W124 500E/E500...the battery is not the same size as the original OE battery...the battery is 0.75" shorter in height than the OE battery, and my positive terminal could not reach it...I ended up returning it...I don't know if it was some weird goof from the factory just on my car, but you should double check beforehand...I ended up with the OE Mercedes-Benz battery for around $170CAD...
