Facelift
Can I just mildly scold?
It's Mercedes tradition to alternate body introductions with engine changes.
W124 got M104 midterm; W210 got V6 to replace M104 midterm, and recently W211 got the 4-valve engines to replace the 3-valvers. Diesel engine changes mid-life as well.
W124 got late-life "facelift" (after the new engines) as did W210 and now W211.
Seems to me the new engines are the bigger deal.
