    W124 is the most perfect sedan. I used to own a 300E, with an M103 engine, 3litre straight 6. Even those with G Wagons would respect me on the highway, that thing moves!

    This used to be and is still the ultimate Mubaba's car and the Mafiosos .

    It used to be associated with hardcore masculinity.

    Great video Erick! Yenyewe the babas who had W124s in the 90s were the real Deep state. A couple of fact confirmations/clarifications:
    1. The legendary Italian designer is Bruco Sacco.
    2. The coupe version was the C124.
    3.The competing 5 series beemer was the E34 chassis not E36 as you have stated.
    I totally agree that a late year-model E200 (say 1994-95) with triple 1 engine and that 'unofficial compressor' would be really sweet car for a collector! Second only to the HAMMER!

    Good review but a few facts you got wrong. The first S-Class was the W116 released in 1972 not 1996. Only the diesel versions of the W123 had foot-operated parking brake, the rest were on the dashboard. Also Rolls Royce didn't copy Mercedes's comfort, in a 1959 Rolls Royce advert they claimed that at 60mph the loudest noise in the new Rolls Royce was the electric clock. As for the FD as long as the fuel pump, modulator, and injector jets are in good condition it's a way better system than the carburetor (from my experience using both systems)
