I really wonder sometimes what drives people to re-badge their cars. Comical. Especially on an old Mercedes.
They really should have offered a lot more manual transmission options over the years. I bet they would have eaten into BMW's sales a lot more. A 300E with factory "Sportline" suspension and a manual transmission would eat up any 3/5 series but the M3/M5 from the period.
But I must say that the automatic gear boxes in the 300E's are way better than your average slushbox. Just the way they shift under full redline load feels so "right" compared with any other automatic car I've driven hard.
