What are the differences between M & MW IPs?
The MW is used on every 240D, 300D sold in the USA. The M is used on non-turbo 240D and 300D models sold outside the USA. The only ways to get an M-pump in the USA are from a car brought here by gray market import or buying a spare one from Europe.
Performance-wise they are about the same, some claim smoother engine running with the M-pump. The M-pump has more plunger options for power, this is why they are so valuable.
This is the MW-pump that every USA-sold MB Diesel has.
