The Mercedes-Benz M 129 was a 1965 to 1969 of Daimler-Benz -made six-cylinder - inline engine with intake manifold injection and 2.5 liters displacement . It was the injection version of the simultaneously produced carburettor engine M 108 .

With intake manifold injection and the increased compression ratio (increase from 9: 1 to 9.3: 1 or 9.5: 1 from 1966) this achieved a significant increase in performance compared to the carburetor model. Otherwise, the unit remained essentially unchanged.
