The great difference lays in the transmission profile and exhaust system and much to the lament of one pioneerwho tried to install an ML version into a E-W211 and bent the dipstick tube so that the hood would close.
The position of various attachments varies according to steering rack and then also the length of various other tubes. In some of the larger cars there is additional contro gear for a second pump or perhaps a second battery. This is however in the software of the controller and not in the engine.
