[S124] as it's an estate. And it's not called E-Klasse yet.

Does the face-lifted, post 1994 version (when Mercedes started listing the model letters after the number instead of before it, eg SL500 instead of 500SL) count as an E-Class?

Yes, it was called, e.g., E 200, E 250 Turbodiesel, and so on. 1985-93 models weren't called officially E-Klasse.

But the 1994-1995 W124s were called E-Classes, right? For this vehicle here, vehicle_29947-Mercedes-Benz-E-Klasse-S124-1994.html I called it an E-Klasse because I didn't know what engine it had, I just knew it was a post-facelift S124 Estate.

By the way how did people use to refer to different Mercs before 1994? There was the 190, but what people call a W124 or a W126 if they didn't know the particular engine size? Most ordinary people don't know the model code (W-something) for each generation of Mercedes, they just say S-Class or C-Class.

Yes, I agree with you: usually people call, e.g. the W124, E-Klasse (or E-Series), but isn't totally correct. Mercedes enthusiasts (like me :D) use the code. Btw, the post 1994 W124 were called E-Klasse, like the newer models.

A lot of W126s on this site are listed as S-Klasses in the absence of an engine number, they either had the suffix SE or SEL, but the thing about the W124 is there some models like the 300D that featured no "E" in the name. Can anyone tell me what all the intials that Mercedes cars use actually stand for?

Also, what year was the W124 facelifted (the grille was made smaller and incorporated in the rest of the bonnet)?

With an "E" Mercedes originally distinguished the spark-ignition engines (e.g. 200) from the newer models with fuel injection (200 E, "Einspritzung" in german). BMW did that with an "i" (e.g. 520, 520i). Later, when no spark-ignition engines were produced anymore, the "E" stood for the whole series.
Other common letters (as far as I know):
A - A-Class, first letter in the alphabet, smallest car in the range (e.g. A 140)
AMG - tuned by Aufrecht Melcher Großaspach (e.g. E 55 AMG)
B - B-Class, second letter, second smallest car (e.g. B 200)
C - C-Class, compact (e.g. C 240)
C - Coupé (e.g. 280 SLC, 320 CE)
CDI - Common rail direct fuel injection (e.g. E 270 CDI)
D - Diesel (e.g. 300 SD, 190 D)
G - G-Class, "Geländewagen" = all terrain vehicle (e.g. G 500)
K - "kurz" = short (e.g. SLK 200)
K - "Kompressor" = supercharger (e.g. C 230 K)
L - "leicht" = light (e.g. 190 SL, SLK 230)
L - "lang" = long (e.g. 560 SEL)
M - M-Class, no idea what the M stands for (e.g. ML 350, the additional L because a single M is a trademark of BMW)
NGT - Natural gas technology (e.g. E 200 NGT)
R - R-Class, no idea of the meaning (e.g. R 500)
S - S-Class, "Sonderklasse" = special class (e.g. 560 SEC, S 65 AMG)
S - Sport (e.g. 300 SL)
T - T-Modell, "Touristik" or "Transport", station wagon (e.g. 250 TD, TD doesn't stand for Turbodiesel)
V - V-Class, van (e.g. V 230)

mid-1993

Thanks! I always thought the "i" with BMW meant injection as in fuel injection.

Another thing: all the S123 and S124 before 1994 would be listed, if we don't know the engine, as "T", because there were some types of engine: T (which meant basic model carburettors), TE (injection), TD (diesel) and TD Turbo (Turbodiesel). The newer models are called, e.g., C-Klasse T-Modell (or simply "T").
Perfect rewiew, Tonz! ;)
