Model Years, 500E...what do I need to know?

Is there any difference that one needs to keep in mind between the 92,93,94, etc... for the 500E? Thank you.

92 - These varied greatly depending on build date. All had 322Hp, some have the original Brembo brake calipers others have an updated caliper, phone in center console, Becker stereo, black bumper strips, big chrome grille, plastic headlights (Junk), amber/red/white tailights.

93 - Same as above except the phone was mounted in the armrest instead of inside the center console. Some engine revisions and minor changes, nothing noticeable. 315Hp due to emissions restrictions.


94 - This model year had updated headlights, grille, clear/red rear tail lights, revised trunk lid, and bumpers painted to match the lower cladding. Mechanically they had bigger brake calipers in front, 315Hp due to emmissions restrictions and a few other minor engine updates. In the interior the phone was mounted in the armrest instead of inside the center console. It also had a Bose Stereo in place of the Becker.

Have you driven one yet? Once you do there's usually no turning back

Dean's site is the Pinnacle of W124 500E/E500 history. A must read for anyone who is considering buying a 124.036 or frankly, for anyone who just enjoys Mercedes-Benz history.

The 6.3 ... the 6.9 ... then the W124 500E/E500 ... and now the W211 E55 ....
