Believe it or not, the V8 loom is cheaper!
doesn't it have mechanical injection ? So, it is not all electronic engine control like HFM ?

Im having to do my E500..Whilst servicing it last week ive noticed some of the wires are in bad shape and may explain why my car very occasionally goes into limp mode. Believe it or not, the V8 loom is cheaper!
For anybody whose car has not yet had it's loom changed I'd recommend checking your loom thoroughly with a view to changing it BEFORE something goes wrong.
I ended up with a spiked ECU and a bill for just over $AU4,000 at the beginning of this year.
This is on a car with 125,000kms (78,000m) on the clock.
I did indeed, and I got two dealers to quote from the vin / reg number and they both came up with the same part number. The number was different to any I would have picked from the various websites so I think your comment is a very important one for people to take on board.hope you ordered it by chassis number (VIN).
the options on the car make a diference which loom you have.
eg. whether you have air con or not,
manual or auto gearbox
4 or 5 speed auto
whether you have ASR (anti slip regulation) diff. etc etc
If only I knew it was that easy I wouldn't have bothered with the new loom.These wiring looms really do like standard mains cables! The copper wiring goes slightly dark greenish when exposed over time, it looks the same on the wiring loom where the cracks are. If thats the case, sod MB! Im off to an electrical shop to buy a whole roll of mains cables, heat resistive tape, clean up all the connectors and make my own loom!
