The late S320 (M104) has waste spark system, one coil
on 2 cylinders. The plug wires you are seeing should then
be the low voltage ones. 3 of the spark plug connectors
have coil and the other 3 have not. I think the three
plugs under the coils are common to fail over time on a M104.
There is even a diagram on the black cover thats over the plugs.
