There is a discrepancy between this page and the page covering the M103 engine. This page says that the early 1988-1993 300SL came with a 228BHP engine. This I believe is only true of the 300SL-24. The 300SL, of which some 12,200 were made only had the single cam 12v motor. The page covering M103 engine suggests that this engine has only some 170 odd BHP which I believe is true of its earliest days whereas I believe in its final form it has 217BHP. Further research is needed on both these pages.
The problems that I have pointed out with this page and the M103 engine page may be to do with this engine not having been available in the US. This needs correcting
[edit] When did the 320SL first come out?
It says 1994 in the article but I have seen 320 SL's for sale that claim to be as old as 1991. For example, this one http://carsireland.ie/55245 - it's not a great photo, but it definitely looks like a 320SL to me. Could it really be 1991? thanks --Brian Fenton (talk) 16:22, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
