Which would you say is better?104 300-24
103
Depends what you like. M103 is not so much of a revver, but makes good torque. M104 likes to rev and is a bit more sporty. Neither is a bad engineWhich would you say is better?
Only asking as I know an old chap who’s pretty knowledgeable and according to himself the later engine can be a bit of a headache in comparison to the earlier one. I know there’s a slight power increase with the 104 but does this weigh out the minor technical agro over the 103?Depends what you like. M103 is not so much of a revver, but makes good torque.

Ok mate good to know. Thank you!M104 likes to weep out the back corner of the head gasket on the exhaust side. It’s an annoying foible of an otherwise lovely engine.
Prior to getting into mercs I was and still am into early 2000 BMW’s and regards to engine reliability I’m think about Chucking the spare M111k in my 46. Been an absolute gem in my 202 and people I know that have had them only speak of some minor issues like others from that era. Very well built just a shame about the metal quality reallyBoth of them are as smooth as a spoon through warm butter.
