Y'all,

Is there any rhyme or reason to MB's chassis and engine numbering schemes?

Why does the OM617 come before the OM602 and the M110 before the M104?

Why do the W (chassis) numbers seem to jump around (i.e. this or this timeline)?

Thanks,
Shawn

I've wondered that myself. Maybe some twisted Stuttgart sense of humor.
