What does the E50 look like? Got pics? Actually never mind. Just saw your other thread about this and IMO the E55 still looks better. The tail light on the E50 looks kind of bland (got that circle thing going on) compared to the E55 without it. Just my 2 cents.

!The 5.0L motor in the 98-2002 W210 body is a M113 3 valve per cylinder. The E50 AMG (Europe only) is the one in the ebay link.Porsche had nothing to do with that one if I recollect.Maybe someone can chime in.

Mercedes went to the three valve engine to meet emissions requirements. The three valve engine, at the time, heated the catalytic converters faster and in doing so the engine could pass the newer stricter emissions laws.

Alot of it had to do with economics concerning MB and they felt they could make the M113 just as efficient as the M119(32v) spending less $$.Another reason why they use the M113 engine in so many of their V8 cars is because of financial economics.The MB V8 also can share alot of parts with the V6 by the way.Nissan does the same thing they use their v6 in many of their cars and trucks.Financial economics.The M119 motor simply cost more $$ to build with it's multi valve variable timing notched forged piston and forged crank engine.

Spoke to someone about it and they state that we are both correct.MB baiscally created a V8 that was cheaper(less parts) to build and that would deal with the emissions better and still create more TQ and HP.3 valves per does make a difference emissions wise and has an effect on the velocity of the gasses in the combustion chamber both in and out.
