300se vs 300e 2.6
Which is better in terms of parts and quality. SO overall which will last longer? Besides the fact the the 300e uses less gas.

The S-Class (W126) straight 6 is so slow and costs more to repair. Get a 560V-8 if you want this series.

The engines (M103) are identical except for displacement. Both will be equally reliable. The US market 300 SE has 177 hp. If I were to buy a 124 it would have the 3.0 L engine but I’d buy the 2.6 L if it were low miles and well cared for.
