Description

Offered here is a rare and highly desirable AMG-tuned M104 3.4-Liter 24-Valve Engine paired with the 722.5 5-Speed Automatic Transmission — a complete high-performance powertrain package from the golden era of AMG engineering.

Based on the legendary Mercedes-Benz M104 platform, this AMG-modified 3.4L variant represents one of the most balanced and responsive six-cylinder performance builds ever produced by AMG during the pre-merger and early partnership years with Mercedes-Benz.

When paired with the robust Mercedes-Benz 722.5, this setup delivers smooth yet authoritative power delivery — ideal for both executive touring and high-speed Autobahn performance.


AMG 3.4L M104 – Engineering Overview

The AMG 3.4L version of the M104 featured significant performance enhancements over the standard 3.0L variant, often including:

  • Increased displacement (3.4 liters)

  • Higher-performance camshaft profile

  • Revised cylinder head work

  • Optimized engine management tuning

  • Upgraded intake and exhaust flow characteristics

The result is stronger mid-range torque, improved throttle response, and a distinctive AMG power band that transforms the driving experience.

Depending on specification, output typically exceeded factory M104 figures, delivering a more aggressive and performance-oriented character while maintaining Mercedes refinement.


722.5 5-Speed Automatic Transmission

The electronically controlled 722.5 transmission offers:

  • True 5-speed overdrive capability

  • Improved highway cruising efficiency

  • Smooth yet firm AMG-compatible shift characteristics

  • Excellent durability under higher torque loads

This transmission is highly desirable for performance builds due to its balance between comfort and strength.
