I have a 1995 CL500 Coupe and want to replace the diff, I also have a 1994 S500 saloon. Is the diff the same, ie are the ratios the same.

Can you please give me the first 6 numbers of VIN for both cars please, and I will see what I can find. Don't know if this info is covered

Not the same, the S500 being a 140070 uses the same diff as a R129 with ASR.
the CL500 that is a 215315 does not have ASR
