Personally, that would have me scared to death if my E300 did it!
I find the best way to get a time in the E300 (606 turbo) is simply to floor the pedal in drive; the electronic trans will automatically allow redline in each gear. Power flow is linear, increasing with revs, and 60mph can be accomplished in 3rd gear. Turn off ESP and it may actually chirp the tires!
I've found another way of having fun in addition to 0-60: get it up to about 20mph--make sure the trans is in 3rd gear--and bury the pedal, hitting the kickdown switch. The car slams into 2nd, knocking your head back, and redline follows shortly. Powering through the gears, what was once a dutiful, unassertive E-class becomes a roaring, whining, smoking racing machine!!
