Bottom line is better performance with less preventative maintenance required.

You can add a set of Euro lamps to an older W124 easily enough. Also remember that the M104 has wiring harness issues if it has not been replaced, as well as the problematic ASR traction control system if so equipped. With that said, if your budget will allow the last W124s are definitely the most refined of the series.
