1991 300CE vs 1992 300E

Hi All,

I did some search, and Here what I found.

http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=7610&highlight=300CE+300E


- "the main problem with the m103 engine is valve seals/guides, and the main shortcoming of the m104 is head gaskets. Both these problems would seem to show up around 100,000 miles if I understand correctly"

- 300CE has more horsepower than the 300E

I still have this question, and I could not find an answer for it:

In terms of Reliability and long term ownership costs which are more important for me than the horsepower, which one should I choose? both have the same mileages?

I am trying to be DIY...too

Thanks a lot !!

Sam
