Wrong, W140's have two pans, one just behind the lower bumper and one under the engine. I work on them every day.
If they stopped installing on later ones it was to save $$$, not because it's not needed.

Even new models have them, the newest I've seen is a 2005.

Mine is a little beat up and I'm spending the $120 to get a new one.
