About the W124 300D Turbo (148 Hp) RWD

The 300D Turbo was the W124 that proved diesel could be dignified. The OM603 turbocharged inline-six made 148 hp and 273 Nm of torque with a smoothness that belied its fuel type. These are the W124s that have logged 700,000+ km in taxi service across Africa and Europe. The diesel W124 is not exciting. It is eternal. There is no higher compliment for a Mercedes-Benz.
