M103 was improved sometime in 89 and it no longer suffers from valve guide or camshaft wear. And not all pre 89 had problems.

M103 takes a lot more upkeep than a 616 or a 617.

I would say that a diesel w123 economy is about the same as a gas w124
The m104 is the bees knees tho. Powerful rev happy smooth running engine
