Different striokes for different folks I guess.

I wasn't that impressed with the M103/ 5 speed manual in my W124.
Nice, but not one of the better manual transmission setups I've owned.

The M103 is a very nice engine, when it's good. But when it's bad, it's very, very bad....

How many head gaskets have you been through?
Ever change a water pump on a M103?

If you like the M103, try the M104.

I did.
