Picked this up two weeks ago, it's an awesome companion to the 335i



I'm planning on autocrossing it next summer but first order of business is sorting out the suspension and some Blizzaks for the winter months.







Anyone else has/had one?

The 190e and the 300e were probably the finest mercedes benz ever produced! My uncle had a 1990 300e black with beige and it was a awesome car. From the build quality to the performance cant beat it! how does it perform?

I like these cars. Any plans on a body work?

wow thats one clean 190E. I love these cars. How much did you pay for it, if you don't me asking...

[holson]

Thanks!

jabwoy83:

It performs well for a 2900lb with only 158hp when it was new It's really smooth. I like how it feels much nimbler compared to the bigger 300E. I did have a 400E a while back.


audiprotein:

I will probably paint the lower plastic claddings black, unless I can find a nice set of AMG kit.

KL2DC:

I paid $2900 for it, it does have a lot of new parts (brakes, shocks, exhaust, water pump) and the A/C works. But the selling point for me was the fact that it's black on black.

BTW - the camera did a lot to cover up the scratches heh thanks though! Once I get the buffer on it, it'll look better!

[KL2DC]

Shoot that's a good deal...is that the 2.3 or the 2.6?

edit: nvm its the 6cyl

Good luck with the car and mods. Again, I love the 190E, they drive nice

I don't understand why you would be this car to autocross. Please enlighten me.

just my excuse to have a more useful winter/second car i used to have cheap SUVs for winter and they were utterly boring and useless in summer.

it'd be interesting to run it at the T&T events although I'll stick with the 335i for the timed autoX's

[Davin]

im looking for one of these in good condition

[nmulax]

I've always loved the looks of these cars.

Haha, your thread already had me searching eBay and debating selling my '04 Civic with 86k on the clock for a 190E.

BTW, reminds me of this
