I'm not a big fan of the M112/3 engines. I don't think they were an improvement over the M104/M119. I think MB built them to meet emissions standards and to cut costs. It seems that with the new versions MB put some money back into their designs. Probably because they were forced to, look at what Lexus and BMW is putting in their cars!

Hey, I absolutely love the M113 V8 in my E430.
Even though it has a smaller displacement that the M119 5.0 liter in the 500E, it has almost identical performance figures.
