Which W124 is best for me?

That is interesting. The 2.6 stuck out for me in the 190 as a lovely, lovely engine. I always planned on changing to the 3.o as in that car it was a straight and easy swap. Was your disappointment with the 300E due to the way the coupe drove or the engine? I would imagine the coupe would be less nimble and was always told that although the power increase is only around 22hp the extra torque from the 3.0 made the engine pull noticeably better?

The performance of the 300 didn't seem to be any better than the 260, and interestingly I test drive a 420SEC and that was really disappointing on both performance and economy.
