..... Yes and better headlights too! Listen guys, most of you are forgetting the O.P.'s original question: "What is absolute best gas W124 for
reliability & durability". He didn't say anything about features, appointments, refinement, looks, facelifts, updates, appearance, or my favorite thing,
power, or anything else. "Reliability & durability". Check the Consumer Reports reliability record of the 94-95 W124s as they aged against that of the older W124s as they aged.
For the record, the 92-93 400Es were governed too, but they were governed to 155 MPH instead of 130 MPH and the "H" rating is good to 130 MPH not 127. I seen tests where the governed top speed of MBs of 94-95 varied between 127-133.
I read in a book about Schremp and the Chrysler takeover that MB reduced the number of quality control inspectors on the assembly lines as another cost cutting move but I don't remember exactly when that happened. Maybe that was right after they blessed us with those plastic oil tubes.
