I wouldn't pass up a nice 350. I think a 1995 S350D would be a great car to have, a W140 with a 350 what a great combo!
Why? Would you want to end up replacing the engine after 200K miles?
If I had to buy a W140(I wouldn't since it is the S-Class I least appreciate), I would go for the 300SE/S320. Relatively good fuel economy, and plenty of power thanks to gearing.

Consider, the 300SE/S320's are much more inexpensive than the 350's and the 350 in a 600 lb lighter car would blow the doors off a W140. And get better mileage.

Oh well, to each his own. I'm not going to dictate my opinions. I respectully disagree.
