I am putting my 1987 Mercedes Benz 190e 2.3-16 up for sale. The car has 148,688 miles on it and a clean title. Although since the car is my daily driver, milage will slowly creep up. I have a lot to say about this car and I want to be a through and honest as possible in the listing so I will start from the beginning.

-THE HISTORY-
Here is an excellent article giving a background about the car's DTM history and e30 m3 rival. Mercedes manufactured almost 2,000,000 W201s (190e/190d) of which 1.4% were 16 valve variants. 2,000 190e 2.3-16s were imported to the United States for the 1986/1987 model years, of which about 800 had the dogleg 5speed transmission like mine.

-MY CAR BEFORE MY OWNERSHIP-
My car was purchased in Idaho in February 1987 after being manufactured in Germany in September 1986. It spent most of its life in California. Around 2005 it moved to Indiana. I suspect around this time it was taken off the road due to failing emissions although I am not 100% sure. About 4 years ago the person I purchased the car from bought the car in Chicago. It was not running but stored inside on jack stands. He had the car for around 3 years stored inside on jack stands. He took care of the car but was unable to get it running.

-MY CAR DURING MY OWNERSHIP-
I purchased my car on November 14, 2012 with the intent to fully restore it. I immediately tore into the engine and did the following work.

-Replaced the OVP relay
-Replaced all the fuel injectors
-Replaced the fuel line from the fuel distributor to the fourth cylinder
-Tested virtually all electrical components
-Replaced the airflow meter assembly
-Replaced the fuel distributor
-Replaced the EHA valve
-Replaced all vacuum lines
-All new injector seals
-Opened up the valve cover,
-New timing chain
-New timing chain hydraulic tensioned.
-New timing chain guide rails
-Brought the car into a Bosch/Mercedes specialist to check my work
-Tuned the Air/Fuel ratio
-Checked over my work and everything is up to standard.
-
-Got the car running in May-
-
-New shift linkage bushings
-Replaced the AC Compressor
-fixed residuale vacuum leaks
-Replaced the speakers. I kept the stock head unit for originality but out of the factory it was a terrible system. The new speakers are Alpines. They fit under the speaker covers in the dash but not on the rear deck. While they look good on the rear deck I have the original speakers and speaker covers if you don't like them.
-
-Extra Parts-
-
-Extra intake manifold
-3 or 4 extra fuel distributors
-Extra fuel injectors and fuel lines
-2 extra airflow meter assemblies
-New rear window motors
-Headlight wipers and motors. I removed them because I really dislike the way they look but they worked when they were on.

-THE FLAWS-
-The front spoiler has a hairline crack as pictured
-The front dash has a crack. Fortunately the crack goes right down the center of the car and almost looks like it is supposed to be there. Point is the dash is cracked in the best way possible. There is also a small crack by the right speaker.
-The rear windows do not work. They used to but stopped suddenly back in December. I have new motors that work but haven't installed them.
-The passenger power seat doesn't always move forwards and back. The other functions do (up/down, headrest up/down, tilt forward and back). It's only a connection issue but I just haven't opened the switch up to repair it.
-Sometimes the idle control valve gets stuck and it idles at 1500 as opposed to 1000. A throttle blip always fixes the issue and idle returns back to 1000. I might get around to fixing that this weekend but it's honestly a minor issue.
-There is a dime sized V shaped tear in the driver's seat. It is repaired and barley noticeable but it is there and pictured.
-There is a 1 inch by 1/8 of an inch on the hood where the clear coat is gone. Again pictured. You have to really look to see it.

-I have highlighted all of the flaws I can honestly think of with the car. This way there are no surprises for you and you know exactly the car you are coming to see. It is not a garage queen with 10,000 miles on it but this car was made to be driven, was driven, and is a very good example of this car.

-THE GOOD-
-Despite not being on the road for a few years, this car was always well taken car of. The interior is immaculate, the exterior is very, very good. There is absolutely NO RUST on this car's chassis or body. It was not left outside to rot, it was not forgotten of, it was not thrown together by hack mechanics. The title is CLEAN and in hand.
-The car drives like it was just driven out of the factory. The engine is great and pulls up through the rpm range. It hasn't ever overheated or shown any issues whatsoever since I got it running (Once had it up to 143 mph without incident...)
-The Getrag 5speed dogleg gearbox shift smooth and properly.
-The Limited Slip differential works.
-The Hydraulic Self Leveling Rear suspension works.
-The Brakes and Suspension are in good shape.
-Steering is tight.
-Chassis is still extremely stiff.
-Original wheels and full size spare
-Tires have good tread
-Cosworth exhaust note still sounds amazing
-Original first aid kit is included and the original seal is still not broken!

-The car really drives like new. Again this is not a garage queen, it is a driver's car.

Mercedes-Benz working on S-Class EV in accelerated green car lineup?

Mon, Mar 10 2014

With Mercedes-Benz bringing out coupe and plug-in hybrid versions of its S-Class sedan, the German automaker just may follow through with a battery-electric variant as well. That's what the company's Uwe Ernstberger told the folks at Top Gear during the Geneva Motor Show. And while he noted the company still needs to work in a larger-than-usual battery pack and was less than specific with details, he did envision an all-electric S-Class "in the future." Of course, rumors started bubbling about an EV S-Class as far back as 2011, so we'll see. Christian Bokich, department manager for product and technology communications for Mercedes-Benz USA, would not confirm anything about an electric S-Class, but he did give AutoblogGreen an official rundown of MB's upcoming green cars in the US, starting with the launch of the all-electric B-Class ED in July of this year in the ZEV states (launch details for other states are TBA, he said). An S-Class plug-in hybrid is coming in the first half of 2015, followed by a C-Class PHEV closer towards the end of that year in the USA. There is also a C-Class four-cylinder BlueTEC coming at some point in 2016. Until we get more concrete information about the possible S-Class EV, let's review what we know about the PHEV. Last September, Mercedes-Benz started showing off the plug-in hybrid S-Class, saying that it could go as far as 19 miles on electric power alone and had a preliminary fuel efficiency rating of more than 78 miles per gallon, using the more lenient European driving cycle. Earlier this week, Mercedes showed off its S-Class Coupe. That model's US version will have a twin-turbocharged V8 that kicks in 449 horsepower, a few more than the presumptive S-Class EV will have. Ernstberger also said Mercedes would join the ranks of automakers offering autonomous driving systems and mentioned the S-Class as being at the "top of the movement." He held his tongue when asked about the possibility of an S-Class cabriolet.

Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury SUV concept shown in leaked images

Fri, Apr 20 2018

Just days ago, we posted the interior teaser image Mercedes-Maybach released of its Ultimate Luxury concept due to be presented at the Beijing Motor Show. Now photos of the entire vehicle, inside and out, have leaked online courtesy of the manufacturer. Thanks to the concept's own microsite being live for a short while, we've gotten a good look of the concept. And it's not just a dressed-up GLS by any means, even if there might be a GLS platform underneath it all: It's a high-riding four door sedan with a clearly formed trunk instead of a traditional SUV shape. There's a big waterfall grille flanked by low, aggressive three-unit headlights, and the detailing is a combination of SUV cues and something a lot more luxurious. It's not easy to design a three-box sedan that's still recognizably an SUV. Inside, there's white leather and rose-gold detailing everywhere. But the big deal is the powertrain, which in the concept is all-electric. The all wheel drive is propelled with four electric motors, with a combined power output of 750 horsepower. The battery, said to be a flat underfloor design, is good for 80 kWh and an EPA range of over 200 miles, and the vehicle's top speed is limited to 250 km/h, or 155 mph. There's DC fast charging at up to 350kW, meaning that the range can be boosted by 60 miles in just five minutes, and induction charging is also available. All in all, the vehicle reminds us of the 2009 Lagonda Luxury Utility Vehicle concept, which was also created around a three-box sedan shape and also based on a Mercedes platform, GL-Class in that case. It did not yield a production version, but maybe the Vision Ultimate Luxury will.

Brabus 800 Roadster is a power-mad aristocrat

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

If we're being completely honest, we haven't exactly been in love with the aesthetics of the sixth-generation Mercedes-Benz SL-Class. It's mostly a front-end issue, with its glowering eagle-eye headlamps and upright, dinner-plate-sized Three-Pointed Star coming across to us as overwrought. That's particularly troublesome for a roadster whose history has of the most elegant designs of all time in its back catalog. Somehow, the new R231 generation's brash visuals seem more at home on this Brabus 800 Roadster to us.
That's probably because the high-dollar German tuner has turned up the wick on the SL's visuals even further, with carbon fiber bodywork, a more aggressive aero kit, matte hood scoop and complex two-finish wheels. It's all-the-way committed to its brashness, in other words - and justifiably so. Anything with 800 horsepower and 1,047 pound-feet of torque has earned the right to look however it wants, right?
Brabus started with the SL65 and its not-exactly-underpowered 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12, and went to town, fitting their own turbocharger and intercooler system, along with a less-restrictive exhaust system with driver-selectable sound levels and new engine electronics. The result is a 3.7-second 0-62 mph time, an electronically limited top whack of 217 mph... and one seriously compromised toupée.
