The W124 Saloon was launched in 1985 and designed by Bruno Sacco as a replacement for the W123 model. The Wagon (Estate) followed in 1985 with a Coupe in 1987 and the Convertible from 1992
The W124 is a mid-sized vehicle platform. Front suspension uses a separate spring and damper with a rubber top mount. The rear suspension of the W124 features the Mercedes multi-link axle introduced in 1982 with the Mercedes 190. Estate cars (and optionally, saloons and coupes) had Citroen-like self-levelling rear suspension with suspension struts rather than shock absorbers, gas-filled suspension spheres to provide damping and an under bonnet pressurizing pump. Unlike the traditional Citroën application Mercedes opted for a fixed ride height and employed rear coil springs to maintain the static ride height when parked.
It had one of the lowest coefficient of drag (Cd) of any vehicle of the time (0.28 for the 200/200D model for the European market with 185/65 R15 tires) due to its aerodynamic body, that included plastic moulding for the undercarriage to streamline airflow beneath the car, reducing fuel consumption and wind noise. It had a single windscreen wiper that had an eccentric mechanism at its base that extended the wiper's reach to the top corners of the windscreen
In 1989, the 124 series received its first facelift. Most notable difference between the 1984 to 1988 models and the post 1989 models are the so-called "Sacco planks". These are body trim parts mounted on the lower portions of the doors. In 1993, the second facelift was introduced to the 124. It changed the appearance of the 124 series once again: the front portion was changed, which made the 124 bear closer resemblance to the flagship 140 series, and the rear bumper on saloon, cabriolet, and coupé models was extended further around the rear wings, whilst the estate models retained their original rear bumpers.
The pre-facelift models from 1985 to 1993 used the model designations beginning with the engine size ie 300CE while post facelift cars from 1993 to 1995/6 used the model designations first ie CE300.
