It is an M104 I6 not an M112 V6.

MB stuck a 5spd trans on the back of them and some good gearing. They move along quite nicely and you really only notice a lack of power at higher speeds.

The S320 starts to lack as you approach 100mph. That is where the S500 picks up and pulls strong to 140ish. And if you really need to go the S600 will not run out of steam to over 170.
