AS long as you are not expecting to race it or have it blast around like a super car, the W140 does fine with an inline 6. More power than the older cars, but not that much. Far more complex than the older cars. A w124 is pretty light compared to either the 126 or 140. I am pretty please with the OM603 in the SDL. It is not a rocket like the R107, the S430 has a newer transmission, and the added pistons have a bit of power. I thought the OM606 NA was powerful enough for my needs. My kid was able to chirp tires and get that car to spin 180 from a dead stop into a phone pole within its own wheelbase.
