I recommend that people forego M-100s and pursue a more modern "sleeper" type sedan...the 400E or better yet a 500E, or the 560SEL are all equal to higher-performing than the M-100 cars, but are infinitely easier to fix, maintain, obtain parts for, and drive on a daily basis.

Cheers,

i dont disagree with that, although it seems kinda morbid. i had the pleasure of "borrowing" my dads 95 e320 wagon for the last couple of weeks, and compared to the 71 300sel 3.5, its got the same power, 2x the mileage, plus it doesnt need any work done to it (its the one car my dad has had that everyone lusts over).
