It was available in 4.2 L; 5.0 L; and 6.0 L displacements. It was a [[double overhead cam]] design with 4 valves per cylinder and [[variable valve timing]] on the [[intake manifold|intake]] side. It was replaced by the 3-valve [[Mercedes-Benz M113 engine|M113]] starting in 1997.

The M119 differed from the [[Mercedes-Benz M117 engine|M117]] in the following ways:

* The engine block uses asbestos-free gaskets and has better oil flow * The cylinder head is now a [[multi-valve#Four valves|4-valve]] aluminium unit with [[dual overhead camshaft]]s * The [[connecting rod]]s are forged and enable cooling of the pistons with sprayed oil * The pistons are iron-coated cast aluminium * An improved vibration damper system is used * The aluminium oil pan has bolted-on oil baffles to prevent foaming of the engine oil * The intake camshaft timing is adjusted [[hydraulic|hydro]]-[[machine|mechanically]] up to 20°: ** 0–2000 rpm — retarded for improved idle and cylinder scavenging ** 2000–4700 rpm — advanced for increased [[torque]] ** 4700+ rpm — retarded for improved [[volumetric efficiency]]

The E50 AMG M119.985 produced {{convert|347|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} @ 5,550 rpm and {{convert|480|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} @ 3,200 rpm.

Applications: * [[Mercedes-Benz W124|W124 500E / E500]] * [[Mercedes-Benz W140|W140 500SE / 500SEL / S500]] * [[Mercedes-Benz W140|C140 500SEC / S500 Coupe / CL500]] * [[Mercedes-Benz SL-Class (R129)|R129 500SL / SL500]] * [[Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W210)|W210]] [[Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W210)#E 50 AMG|E50 AMG]] * [[Mercedes-Benz CLK LM|CLK LM]] (with naturally aspirated version of M119 engine) * [[Sauber C9]] (with biturbo) * [[Mercedes-Benz C11]] (with biturbo) * [[De La Chapelle Parcours]] (2 of 3, 1 concept and 1 production car)

The 5.0 L M119 replaced the [[Mercedes-Benz M120 engine|M120 V12]] in the [[Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR|CLK-GTR]] race car, for the new generation [[Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR|CLK-LM]] which then won every race in the [[FIA GT]] series, which ultimately resulted in the GT1 class being canceled.

It also won the [[1989 24 Hours of Le Mans]] in the [[Sauber C9]] and was further used in the [[Mercedes-Benz C11]] before being replaced by the [[Mercedes-Benz M291 engine|M291]] in 1991.

==6.0== {{no sources section|date=March 2024}} The M119 fitted into AMG models produced around {{convert|375|hp|PS kW|0|abbr=on}} to {{convert|415|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|580|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque.
