Also, 85 is the midpoint of the W126 chassis development. That body style went through 91 although 85 was the last year of the iron head Diesel. A 6 cylinder aluminum head Diesel was available in that body style in 86-87 and 90-91. Driver airbag was standard from 86, passenger airbag optional from 90.

Conversely, 95 is the last year of the W124 chassis development. It doesn't get better than a 95.
