B230E in my 1989 240 GLT was a good engine and a good match to the AW70/71 auto gearbox. A nice combination.
Gave no major trouble over 72,000 miles or 10 years, apart from the tail output bearing. 8 years as only car and sold at 234,000miles. Only age related replacement was the gearbox cooler pipes corroded at the fixing mounting brackets.
The B230E I believe was also fitted to the 740.
James.
