Yes, something like that. They all are 3 liter slant 6 engines with
a common lineage.
M130 and predecessor M180 are vertical 6 cyl engines of varying
displacement from 2.2 to 3 L.

No, I meant what I said. The original 109 had the M189, which is a
modified 300SL engine first used in the Adenour outside the 300SL, so the
original 109 300SEL was a 4 door version of the 300SL. With the M130, it
had no ties to the 300Sl, except maybe the differential.
But you meant to mean that the 300SL's M198 (direct injection) and the
W109's M189 (indirect injection) were both modified M186, right? The
direct injection engine in the 300Sc (M199?) was a modified M198.
