 It's a Mercedes-Benz W123 (200,230,250,200D,220D,240D,300D)
This is a small Benz with round head lamps, and the black bumper ends. Also not 280 or 280E

and 280SE is S-Class

 and for sure it is a diesel - due to sound from the movie :) so our options are only 200D, 220D, 240D or 300D

 Someone listed this as a 240D, but it's actually a 200:

 Please set year as 1979, as the interior design (seat pattern) is from the facelift model, as visible here:

This must be a studio shot, based on a different car; It has a vent window :??:

Another miracle from the wonderful world of movies. Dubbing.

From 1980. The TÜV-sticker (the plate seems authentic) is green, so for 1982. Back then also new cars had the 2-year-interval.

 The interior shots were indeed filmed in a stretched W115:

It appears to have a British plate.

This is one of the coolest behind-the-scenes pictures, especially for gearheads!
