I'd have to agree with this.

The 300E is an excellent car. The M103 is an absolutely fantastic motor.

I had to chuckle at the mileage comments...it's all perspective I suppose. My 300E had excellent highway mileage. After owning an E430 then the GL450, I've sort of given up on mileage. (Though for its size/weight and engine power, the GL has decent highway mileage).
