I have one of those 1993 300E 2.8 cars sold in the U.S. At one point I ran across the relative sales numbers of the 2.8 vs. 3.2 liter variants. The smaller engine/cheaper version outsold the 3.2 by about 5-to-1!

I'm not certain of the exact content difference between the 2.8 and 3.2. But the car had certainly lost a few goodies since the introduction of the 124 in the U.S. For example, the headlight washers are gone, as is the memory on the drivers' seat. MB-Tex was standard on the 2.8, leather cost extra.
