The engine in the S320 was the same engine in the E320. Nice engine, but the head gasket tended to need replacing at ~ 90kmi. Absolutely nothing common about the diesel and gas engines. The 140 is a money pit. Lots of wonderful features and it drives like a dream, BUT it's expensive to maintain. Marshall -- Marshall Booth Ph.D. Ass't Prof. (ret.)
