I have an opportunity to purchase a very nice 1995 W124 E320 Wagon with a blown motor. It seems the damage is from oil starvation. My question is what differences are there between a sedan and wagon M104 configuration as used sedan motors are much more plentiful than motors from a wagon? I am planning to keep the original transmission in the wagon.

The same engine should be in the sedan and wagon, according to a parts website I use regularly. There were fewer wagons sold than sedans, so it makes sense that fewer wagon engines would be available.

some models may because of years,different smog controls.My mechanic had to change alot of stuff from my 99 motor to a 97 e class motor.In some ways its better,because i have alot of stuff missing, that i did not need.Just make sure wiring is new or fresh.I would have loved to bought a 3.6 m104,and changed computers.

If you find another 95 sedan motor it should bolt right in. The SLS on the W124 was controlled by the tandem Power Steering pump so that will need to stay in the car.

No difference other the SLS pump already mentioned. I'm putting an M104 from a sedan in my '94 wagon that suffered a catastrophic head gasket failure.
