    I have 2 190s, but one I have for 23 years, daily driving - never failed me saved a tons of money on repairs etc. Bought 2016 W204, after 2 years left over 5000$ at dealer shops on maintance, sold that shit fast. It didnt even drove and felt good as my 190 with 3.2 m104 engine with getrag, to be completely honest with you. And the other one is v8 m113 5,5 amg with manual shortshift, that cant be even compared to a c63 from the other hand so yea its a lifehack nobody knows about :)

    I reckon that 190E is one of the most visually correct sedans ever made. Still looks incredibly modern even today. And that windscreen wiper is awesome. Why more cars don't do that today baffles me

      That single windscreen wiper might look cool but it is a huge disadvantage when it is pouring rain because it can not wipe as fast as normal wipers...

    Running a '97 E240, bloody well love that car, so well made, handles so well, and so cushy comfortable, no unnecessary electronics in it at all, repairable by anyone, including myself and super smooth running 6 cylinder, well worth keeping. 80's and 90's benz is still the pinnacle of design and quality i wonder if it will ever be out done

    Always such a good feeling to run one of these daily. I catch myself babying them too much and only going on drives for fun, but sometimes you just gotta use them like they were intended. :) We carry all kinds of parts for these, so if you ever need anything give us a shout.

    My Mum had a 1989 W201 190E white with a blue MBTex interior. My parents sold the car after my brother had an accident in it. I believe my brother survived because of "Der Panzer's" rigidity. I have found the car and I am in touch with the owner and my plan is to buy the car back.
    What engine is in your 190E?
    I am a classic car enthusiast and I have a W108, a C126 and a W124. I am from Kenya and I am a member of the Mercedes Benz Club of Kenya (MBCK) and in East Africa we have fantastic areas and great roads to dive on. The club organises very good trips but I have not participated. Your plans for drives have inspired me to go on to more drives.
