mercedes 1993 300E Sportline 3.6 AMG swap W124 500E alternative

1993 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

Mercedes 1993 300E sportline. Pearl Grey with black leather. Full AMG C36 drivetrain, engine & transmission
The sportline was an aggressive package made up of lower stiffer springs, sport shock absorbers, quick ratio steering and a smaller thicker diameter steering wheel.
This one is in excellent condition, newer springs and shocks, replaced control arms, new bushings.
The car has the European one piece glass lights, paint is good, no major rust. This car has a replacement delphi non degradable wiring harness and a replacement rebuilt throttle body, both weaknesses on the 3.2 M104. It's a non-asr car, so less to go wrong. It's also a 48 state federal car, so no check engine light either.

The M104 cars have large 4 piston front calipers and rotors

No rips in the leather seats no unusual noises from the drivetrain.
I've had this car 5 or 6 years, I removed the original 3.2 engine and upgraded the engine to a rebuilt AMG 3.6 with a rebuilt AMG 3.6 transmission behind it. Both engine and transmission have less than 5,000 miles on them.
The 3.6 engine has different cams, pistons, rods and a modified 3.5 diesel crankshaft. There were also differences to the cam timing and cylinder heads. The 3.6 engine "pulls" much harder than the regular 3.2 M104.

The stock engine was a 3.2 M104 ('93 model year was the first year for the 3.2 M104), which made 217 hp and 229 ft/lbs torque at the crank. Mercedes and AMG sold the C36 (where this 3.6 came) from with 270hp and 280 ft/lbs. The car was recently on the dyno at 229hp and 249 ft/lbs torque at the wheels.
This car is a true alternative to a 500E or E500 (Mercedes sold the W124 E36 in rhd countries as an alternative to the lhd only 500E), I own both cars, so I can speak from experience.

Everything works and all the body parts are shared with other standard W124 sedans, so if you crack a bumper or dent a fender, replacing the parts doesn't involve selling a loved one as it does with a 500E.
The 6 cylinder cars are much simpler to work on than the V8s and this one will give the new owner many years of driving pleasure.
