New rear end for a E420
I was reading about the 400E vs the E430.
The 400E has a 2.24 differential and the E430 has a 2.82, the same as the earlier 500E/E500. 0-60 times for the 400E were 7 seconds, and 6.2 seconds for the E430. Do you think that MB didn't put a 2.24 in the 400E/E420 because performance would have been very close to its bigger brother? And, by the time the 500E/E500 was retired, the E430 could take the 500E's place as MB's midsized performance machine. Did MB put a 2.82 in any other 124 besides the 500E/E500? I'm ready to change differentials. Craig
