the 94-95 W124s also had better headlamps than the earlier cars, so you don't really need to convert to Euro-beams.
one other important factor is that the newer W124s had dual airbags.

The transmission went to first gear start in 1990 or 1991, and the shift quality is the same, IMO.
All 124.032 cars (1993 300E (3.2) and 1994-1995 E320') got better differential gearing than earlier M103 300E's.
The '94-'95 headlamps look like Euro's, but aren't. They have dot lenses and don't put out more light than '86-'93 headlights. Whether you buy a car with the earlier or late headlights, I would still change to Euro's.
Dual Airbags arrived in 1993 models.
