Project Benz documents Mercedes E-Class (W124) culture without softening it: the over-engineered saloons and estates that outlast everything around them, the Porsche-built 500E, the 36-valve E36 AMG, the smooth straight-sixes, and the diesels that pass a quarter-million miles without complaint. It is part owners' registry, part technical archive, with factory specs for every W124 variant, restoration and buyer's guides, paint codes, and wheel fitment, mapped to real cars in real garages worldwide. The cleanest Mercedes W124 builds and the reference to make sense of them, on one feed.
The W124 earned Mercedes its over-engineered reputation more than any other car. Built from 1984 to 1997 as a saloon, estate, coupe and cabriolet, it was put together to a standard the company has rarely matched since: galvanised where it mattered, tightly screwed together, and good for huge mileage when maintained.
The range runs from frugal four-cylinder diesels to the Porsche-built 500E and the 36-valve E36 AMG. Owners value the early cars for their solidity and the late facelift cars for their refinement. It is the natural next chapter after the W201.
