R320, S211 wagon
RPM at 130kph

Hey everyone,
Can someone please tell me what RPM they are sitting at, at 130kph for a 2003-2005 mercedes e320 with the m112?
Looking to get a m112 equiped 211 wagon which will be driven on roads with a speed limit of 130kph (for Australia)
If someone has experience overtaking at that speed how does the car perform? I'll be needing to be overtaking lots of road trains.
Thanks

Buy a V8 to overtake long road trains more kickly than with 3.2L.

Not sure about 180 kph but at 114 kph (70 mph) my 04 W211 E320 Sport revs 3,200 rpm. It's a 5-speed auto, would be very nice to have a sixth gear in this car.
