93 300E
I've noticed from the posts at mercedesshop.com that the 1992 has slightly more HP than the other years, and for some reason, the engine has much more upgradeable architecture than the later years.
The 92's, therefore, seem to be much more desireable.
Check out the Hot Rods section in the forum there, and it'll be pretty clear what is different on the 92 engine.

'94 E500 & '94 E320 Coupe
differences in the '94 E500 vs. '93 and '92 range from aesthetics to motronics
'92's appear to be the most desireable to owners seeking the most stock hp 322 vs. 315hp ('93 and '94's) ...however, performance has been placed by MB as being equal: 0-60mph and top speed @ 156mph
'94's appear to be the most desireable to owners seeking the upgraded aesthetics: hood, trunk, grill, bumpers, smoke rear lenses, drivers folding arm rest storage, flat face glass e-code-like headlamps, upgraded stereo, 600SL front braking hardware, extra water cooling passages around the motor's cylinders, etc.
'94's were the most expensive of the lot, and had the latest iteration W124 goodies, garage queens appear to command the highest asking prices at about $50k + tax and lisc. Starmark warranty is still available on '94 E500's until 12/2002.
hope this helps
