So your bordem is essentially caused by the way a luxury liner W126 drives? You want something more sporty? Perhaps move on to a W124....diesel for the economy....or a gasser for the real fun....a 300CE....or a later M104 powered E320.....they are quite nimble, quite exciting to drive, and quite fast. Or go crazy and get a 400E or 500E sportline.....that's sure to get you plenty of tickets, use lots of gas, and wear out tires constantly.

Wait a month until the Don is back in school, and pursuing the next "The Donna". He just needs to keep out of the friend zone.

Yes, the W126 is a land yacht, but a land yacht that is very capable in aggressive handling maneuvers. If you want some excitement with your SDL try 'switching the drive mode from funeral procession to mafia car chase'.

And to be honest as much as I like driving my W126 I do prefer the drive of a W123. But, then the W123 is the perfect car.
