It looks like the silver m104 engine (refer to image) *but* the car's manual clearly states the the 280E is powered by the 103.940 (oringinal 260E engine) and 320E by the the 103.983 (original 300E engine). Very confusing. The car was assembled in South Africa (we've had a Merc plant here since the 60's that manufactured the majority of the world's RHD w124 models) and the manual was printed locally. It covers the 200E 220E 280E and 320E.
I'm only just learning the mechanical side of things and have never worked on any of my cars before. Personally, I like both the 103's and the 104's - both have their strengths, but I opted for this car because of very low mileage. It's like driving a leather-clad sofa strapped to a rocket on wheels - I love it.
