It couldn't be more obvious. There was no production w124 with a 5.0 litre V8, and virtually every part of the powertrain and chassis was unique to the 500E. Try replacing those 500E components with those from a production W124 and you would not get very far.

What the 500E was not was a production W124 with a V8 engine. That's what you seem to be implying, and that is just plain wrong.
