Re: [MBZ] 4-matic repower?
...I also think that is pretty much impossible to retro fit a OM onto the 4matic drive system. The M103 and the 4matic system where pretty much build to fit together like a puzzle... My goodness, even I know that the M103 for 4-matics had a unique oil pan to clear the shafts. Hasn't anybody ever actually looked underneath? Why bother to reegineer two more engines for a low volume application. RLE ** From Wall Street to Main Street and everywhere in between, stay up-to-date with the latest news.

Hasn't anybody ever actually looked underneath? BMW solved that problem on their first 4WD car (the E30 chassis 325iX) by running the halfshaft on one side THROUGH the oil pan, believe it or not. (Hey, at least they didn't put the gearbox in there too like a Mini or Countach.)

Re: [MBZ] 4-matic repower?
Hi, All. I have a 4-matic picture of the system mated to a 603, from MBZ. If anyone wants a butchers, let me know and I'll send it to them as an attachment. It's probably just one of those We won't make enough sales to justify the cost in the good ole US of A.

But they already did! Apparently they sold them overseas, just not here. Tyler relng...@aol.com wrote: ...I also think that is pretty much impossible to retro fit a OM onto the 4matic drive system.

Re: [MBZ] 4-matic repower?
Why yes, after I extensively research it, it would appears that a 300D and 300TD where built with a 4matic system. Hendrik who learned yet another thing tyler wrote: But they already did!
