First of all, I don't think it was just Mercedes. I believe some
other European manufacturers were attempting to meet the same
standards.
I can only speak for the W140 chassis, and they were definitely
affected from 1990-1995. Same period of time the AC evaporators
were assembled using incompatible metals. The change was made when
they did the "facelift" models, which was between 1995-96.

Self destructing wiring harnesses affected all german cars of the
era. It was a mandate from the goobers in the Deutsche goobermnt.
Most of the oddies, VWs and BMW cars of the period have already been
made into toadas or chinee microwaves.
However, I have not heard of BMW motorcycles of the day being
affected by the same self destructing wire insulation. Perhaps the
motorcycles were exempted from the requirement.
