I don't know about this India production but I know in Malaysia, There's a lot of locally produced W140. The engines only last up to 4 years and and to be rebulit or replaced. They are not up to MB spec. | ||

They are not up to MB spec. Really? Thats pretty interesting. I do know that they did some special orders after 1999, but it sounds like that is suggesting that production is very wide spread. The W140 built in Malaysia? Are they built with MB badges on them? | ||

The W140 built in Malaysia? Are they built with MB badges on them? Yes they have MB badges on.They are CKD units. I really don't know why the engines last 3-4 years like they said. If you know deep inside Malaysia and have contacts there. There's lots of Workshop sells Half cut W140s and W124,W211 body.Even range of MB Dashboards and other bodyparts. They even can convert the W123 to W124 body.LOL. | ||

I think the 2001 W140's were special built ones for presidents and prime ministers, and stuff. Maybe an S600 Pullman W140? | ||

zeq Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | Re: W140 produced up untill 2001?????!!! Yea. Some new 3 series are built in SF. 1996_S500, I don't think they made the pullman in Malaysia. They only built the low spec C,E,S class(C180-C220, E200-E240, S280-S320). All the roadster and high spec MB and vans are imported from Germnay | ||
