since purchasing my 1985 300D turbo I have gotten where I really enjoy it for puttering around town and back and forth to work. The 300D is me - slow to accelerate and once up to speed punch the cruise (at around 65 mph). I will continue to drive the E320 on 30+ miles trips on weekends just to keep it working good but I really like the 300D. There is something about it that says "character" and I do not have to worry about the wife wanting to drive it .
