Only the 87' model 300D had the 6 cyl 3.0L OM603.

The later 300D's have the 2.5L turbo 5-cylinder OM602.

You have no doubt seen the MANY pages here about the OM603's cracking heads on older castings. However, I have never seen anything bad about the OM602 (In the 190D or the 300D).

Go for it. I would not buy one, but that's just me.
