The E AFTER a number meant Einspritz, the german word for "fuel Injection."
Of course this only applied to gassers. Diesles had the letter D obviously
so a 230 had carbs
a 230E had Einspritz
same with 250, 280 Etc
E before the number means nothing. It is used only to identify the
midrange car.

Who can only tolerate gassers if they have "E"

and the numbers around."
I don't know whether the E meant fuel injected or not. But, I had a
euro 1984 280E and it was fuel injected.
