in my opinion...which doesn't mean much....BOTH.

I like recirculating ball steering more than rack & pinion ON that size car.
And that car has a much less complex network of computers & a better sound system!
The M104 engine has a "better" feel to ME, than the newer M112/113's.

I have always loved the ride of the W140! Once they got past the 92-93 model years that is.

Hard to beat a car that weighs almost 1000 lbs more!

Air bags in the rear would offer better side impact protection...but not much as the W140 chassis is much better designed that the W210!
