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.
