there is no 3L engine in the 140.
The S320 (long and short wheelbase versions were available) was the only
gasoline powered 6 cylinder W140 sold in the US and they were
manufactured and from '94-'99. I believe it used the 3.2 liter M104.994
engine (not the V-6 M112.94x engine) all of those years. All M104
engines had head gasket problems - most were replaced under warranty,
but I don't know if that "cures" the problem. It's a VERY nice, smooth,
powerful, economical engine, costs a little less than any V-8 to
maintain and was not that much less powerful than the M119 4.3 V-8 engines.

I spoke too soon - there was a W140 300SE 3.2 built in '92-'93 and it
used an M104.990 engine - a little less powerful and economical than the
M104.994 used starting '94.
