Thanks- I thought I had read somewhere that the 3.2 DOHC had computer controlled shifts, or more clearly, the computer cut engine power for that fraction of a second on upshifts for smoother shifts. Additionally, I read the car has a higher (lower numerical) gear ratio, but the car starts in 1st gear, not 2nd. I read this in the Mercedes Buyer's Guide (I'll have to check the book again when I have a moment). I wasn't sure if it was a new transmission, or just re-calibrated 300e transmission going back to 1986.

Regardless, the styling and the extra power are nice I think in the 94-95, although all are nice...
