Not the model he bought. It performs exactly like the gas model of the same year.

Any MB is a great car if it's in good condition and maintained, especially the diesels. But all things being equal, (meaning condition), the car in the OP crushes any '80s MB diesel except maybe the w126 300SDL from '86-'87 w the OM603 6-cylinder engine. The 2.5 OM602 is the same engine w one cylinder chopped off...almost literally. Same pistons, everything the same, just one less hole.
WAAAY more refined and powerful than the old OM617 5-cylinder turbo from the '80s.
