    Everytime I hear that loud fan sound from the engine I always thought of my dad. I miss my dad so much.

    The 230E is the one to go for.. With just the nice power to match. The 220E that came after as a facelift Masterpiece is a little underpowered while the 260E and 280E simply has the extra power you may never need. Unless you are on the track.

    • @ChrisWeevilGarage
      @ChrisWeevilGarage  5 років тому +2

      Absolutely right, it strikes a nice balance between being a comfortable cruiser to a highway bruiser, with just the right amount of power. An added bonus of course is the annual road tax, which is a lot less than its bigger engine'd stable mates 😁

    Beautiful car. I agree with you about planned obsolescence of newer cars. The new cars are meant to last about 10 years and then be scrapped. All of my 5 cars are old. Newest one I own is a 2002 Audi with almost 200k on it. I maintain them myself and only rarely do they go to a mechanic (transmissions only). I still consider anything built in the mid 2000's as a new car. I was taught to take care of stuff and not just trade it in every 3 years.

    Hi Chris! Lovely W124 in manual transmission some more! 😍
    I got myself a 1994 E280 masterpiece... just wondering before you replaced the coils to Eibach Pro Kit springs, how was the oem overall? You mentioning OEM Shocks + Eibach Pro Kit springs as the combo ever really intrigued me to go for this setup too...
    Can you give comments and a little review of the eibach springs and is it really worth it to change it? Can’t seem to find any on your channel.

      Nice car, well done! For me the difference in comfort was negligible, still very comfy, but the car felt more stable in corners with the Eibach progressive springs, that's for sure, less wallow and body roll 😀👍🏾🙏🏽

    Hi Chris,
    Just getting your advice, have put Eibach springs on Bilstein OEM shocks for comfort but now when I go over bumps, it has a knocking sound as Jason from M1 Performance (yep went there for full oils change and other stuff) mentioned that due to the OEM shocks longer travel time, it cannot react in time due to the lowered shocks, is this something normal? Or am I missing something.
    Btw this W124 and your W126 videos are my favourites as my family has had these cars since way back when, truly timeless masterpieces of engineering.
    Keep making awesome vids and would love your advice😊👍. Till then cheers!

    • @ChrisWeevilGarage
      @ChrisWeevilGarage  4 роки тому +1

      Hey bud, hmm, I never had that issue with the E30 or this W124, it could be the spring is not sitting well on the baseplate or something. One easy and cheap fix would be to wrap the upper and lower parts of the springs with rubber hose as a buffer between the 2 parts, see if that works first before changing anything, good luck!!🙏🏽😊

We dont need any reminder with the haze that climate change, toxic air is a problem.

    thank you Chris, very nice video! i have a w124 E220T - love it! and you are so right with Eibach! I have H&R and regret it... my VW T5 has Eibach with Bilstein oems and it is perfect.... enjoy your old lady ^^

      Cheers Nitram!! Thanks for watching and the feedback, great to hear that you have a similar set up. H&R aren't bad, but I reckon they're more performance oriented, whereas the Eibachs are more balanced between comfort and handling, best of both worlds so to speak. Been a fan since the 90s 😀👍🏾🙏🏽

    Great buy and rare find in a manual, I have a 94 E320 Coupe I wish was a manual, the W124 are rock solid made far better than my 07 E350 W211, watch the heat in summer on the w124 mine gets hot here in Australia they should sit in the 85-100 range.

    • @ChrisWeevilGarage
      @ChrisWeevilGarage  2 роки тому

      Thank you for the feedback bud, much appreciated!! Yeah, it gets hot here too, so the cooling system has to be optimal at all times, or it'll overheat very fast, learned that the hard way with my W126 sadly. Agree on these being rock solid cars!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾😊

    Had a 1994 E280 but got into a crashed after 5 years of use. Looking to buy another one and the manual is ideal for me. Looking at 230E or even the 6 pot 260E. Good to know you are using Eibach springs
