Has anyone went off-roading in their MB sedan?

I'm in a photo class at school in which we needed to take pictures of landscapes, so I thought what better landscapes than the ones of the Mojave desert! So I drove my 91 300E to Amboy going through Yucca Valley and the small as hell towns between there... I swear I did like 7+ miles on sand and loooong dirt roads getting photos of old abandoned houses and such..

It was actually really fun and the w124 did REALLY well even with all the shaking and shuttering because of the roads, my tires in the rear are needing to be changed which gave me some anxiety but she pulled through, made me realize though how bad I wish I had a 4matic 124 -_- Anyone have any stories to share or advice for such driving?? I did soft sand to hard dirt roads...
