Could this be possible even for the hassle it might be? I can get parts easily and labor is at no cost for me. I don’t usually drive at those speeds for economy reasons too other my S210 will return something like 10L/100km on motorway cruising, which to me is too much for a mere 65L tank.
The guy who told me this had a Sprinter van changed to a 3.07 and basically lowered from 8.5L/100km to about 6.7L/100km at around 120kph-140kph. Maybe a 2.87? I was told going higher would give me better MPG. As for the diff I already have in my s210 I don’t know for sure as it wasn’t an engine commonly bought throughout europe, or that well documented for that reason. I was told the a complete swap (dual mass, clutch, diff, shaft, gearbox) would be the thing to do as opposed to individual part swapping. Thank you for the reply! I believe it is between 2500rpm and 3000rpm, mostly near the 3000rpm. What RPM is your engine when doing 100km/h today? I would not consider it worth it to be honest if you arent running a tuned engine, and in that case the sixspeed Mercedes gearbox is a good start, but a rewelded BMW a stronger one. To me it seems like a lot of work, the stock fivespeed isnt a “fun” gearbox, but with stock power out of your om605 turbo it should survive good, and mileage wont be better with a sixspeed unless you also swap the differential. The 3.07 is a nice ratio with a gearbox with overdrive, depending on speed and torque, a 2.88 might be good aswell. The sixspeed vs the fivespeed wont affect mileage that much, both the fivespeeds on the w124 and w210 (+w202 and most w201s) had 1:1 in fourth, and about 0.8 something in fifth, about the same as the sixspeeds have in fifth and sixth gear.
