The Euro 124 w/2.5 diesel, owner's manual that I have mentions the
2nd gear start and I have driven US versions, they all started in 2nd.
I have not driven a gas 124.
I have only driven two or 3 '90s 124 diesels and I REALLY didn't notice.
All of the pre 90s 124 diesels I've driven started in first (just like
the Mercedes document shows

All of my 201s start in 1st (at least the way I drive them).
