The W201 M103 motored cars received 1st gear start in 1991 and I believe that was also the case with the W124 M103's as well. I used to own a 1992 2.6l 190 (which started in 1st gear) and have driven many different cars. I drove a 93 400E not too long ago, it was a 1st gear start, drove a 95 E420 a few days ago, it also was 1st gear start and drove a 92 300CE, it was also 1st gear start.
The 400E/E420 also has first gear start, many people confuse this particular car as having 2nd gear start because it has a B switch like the W124.036, but the 400E/E420 B switch (when locked) keeps the car in first and it never shifts out of it (unlike the W124.036, which will shift out).
