Default e34 tourings vs Benz early to mid 90's 300 TE

any BMW touring owners have owned the Benz 300TE wagons (early to mid
90's) as well? how do they compare? I have only heard about the 4matic
being problematic in the Benz but wanted to know how they fared
against the e34 touring...

The E300 is a wallowing barge by comparison to an E34 Tourer.Build quality
is similar, but I'd rather work on the e34 than an E300.

First off please try not to top post.
I replied to the original poster not to start some 'willy-waving' flame war,
but giving him my honest experience of both vehicles. I've owned 4 E34
Tourers in the last 13yrs and worked on dozens for other friends/friends of
friends. I've also looked after (servicing/minor repairs/suspension
work/brakes etc) an E class estate for a neighbour, and driven quite a few
miles in it. I can only say that anyone who says the MB will 'handle' better
than the E34 is either on drugs, or has never found a twisty road to 'play'
on.
