And just to help out our international friends, a little background on the US models.

The 1995 E300 in the US is a W124 model. Engine is an OM606.910 naturally aspirated.

Starting in 1996 the E300 was introduced as the W210 version, we had 1996 and 1997 with the OM606.912 (essentially the same engine, except has the drive by wire injection pump, still naturally aspirated), and then 1998 and 1999 with the OM606.962 turbo version.

Then no more diesel in the US until 2005-2006 with the W211 E320 CDI.

All of these were sedans, no diesel wagons (last year was 1987!) available.
