W124 still in production? Maybe
 

Found this while searching. I do know that Ssangyong used the M104 and other MB bits. Apparently they use at least the floor pan / running gear of a W124.

M104 3.6 still being manufactured? - MBClub UK - Bringing together Mercedes Enthusiasts

Ssangyong in Korea (otherwise known as Daewoo) have a range called "Chairman". They have 2 ranges, "Chairman H" and "Chairman W". Check out these engine specs...

Chairmain H (1997 to present, based on the W124 Chassis), available with these mercedes engine options coupled to a 5G Tronic gearbox...

2.3 I4 150 148bhp
2.8 I6 200 197bhp
3.2 I6 220 217bhp
3.6 I6 280 275bhp <-- Still being manufactured??? (M104.941)

Chairman W (2008 to present) available with these mercedes options coupled to a 7G Tronic gearbox...

3.2 I6 XGi320 222bhp
3.6 I6 XGi360 247bhp <-- Still being manufactured??? (M104.941)
5.0 V8 XGi500 302bhp

More, apparently it was true until recently.

Correct. In fact, 3.2L and 3.6L versions of the M104 are still produced in Korea today. Here are the engine choices available on the current Ssangyong Chairman W - not to be confused with the older W124-based Chairman H, which was recently discontinued.
