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 http://striplin.net/pipermail/mercedes_striplin.net/attachments/20060124/417df177/Trans_Start.pdf

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