Sorry to ask such assenine questions, but my daily driver is a BMW R1100RT (it's a motorcycle for non-bikers), so I'm not exactly used to taking off slow

There are a couple of things you needto realize about older MBs.
First of all, the automatics don't actually start in first gear, they start in second.
Secondly, MB's were never drag racing champs. Acceleration runs were until recently not of much interest to the European market. It's almost purely an American obsession. As a result, MBs were geared (pardon the pun) towards highway driving/commuting.
