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.

Concours-ready, $19,900; solid driver, $16,300; tired runner, $7200 (Source: Hagerty Price Guide)"

-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.

-PURCHASING AND SHIPPING-

-I am located in the New York City area. Deposit of US $500.00 within 24 hours of auction close. Immediate deposit required for Buy It Now. Full payment required within 7 days of auction close. Buyer is responsible for pick-up or shipping of the car. I have the car listed locally and reserve the right to end the auction at anytime.

BMW can't build enough M3 wagons, but the U.S. won't see any

Sun, Jul 16 2023

Why, oh why, won’t the automobile companies that supposedly cater to Americans give us a viable touring wagon? Seems that BMW is one manufacturer thatÂ’s aware of the question, but skirts the answer. WhatÂ’s more frustrating is that the German company, and others, have for years been off-handedly tossing out the same refrain: Â“Maybe weÂ’ll bring a wagon back to the U.S.Â” Not. All the more irritating then is the news that the Bavarians have increased production in Munich of its M3 Touring longroof version to keep up with demand. The information comes via Bimmer Today, which spoke with BMW M CEO Frank van Meel. He said that the company was surprised by the amount of interest in the M3 Touring since its debut during last year's Goodwood Festival of Speed. In fact, he said, the company had to facilitate a production ramp-up within its Munich facility. Despite that increased production, the backlog of orders means that customers are still on wait lists, he said. Last year, van Peel admitted that demand for M-wagons in the U.S. has been steadily increasing, and exporting a touring example was a concept BMW was "taking into consideration.Â” Crossovers certainly are this decadeÂ’s version of the wagon, which leaves American enthusiasts will few choices: only expensive versions from Audi, Volvo and Mercedes-Benz and a couple of others. Details that were announced last year Â— a few months before the wagon went into production for sale in Europe, the U.K. and elsewhere Â— noted that the M3 Touring was only available in Competition spec with xDrive all-wheel drive and a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six with 503 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. Pricing started at GBP80,550 ($105,000 U.S.) More data on the M3Â’s intro here. Related video:

Maybach could become Mercedes-Benz sub-brand

Wed, 22 Jun 2011

When you're arriving in a twin-turbocharged, twelve-cylinder Maybach limo, there's no reason you should ever have to be late. Except, maybe, to make a fashionable entrance. But up at the corporate level, the entire Maybach brand is being slowed down as critical decisions about its future are being undertaken.
Last week, we reported that a decision on what path Maybach would take going forward would be due at the start of next month, but the latest reports indicate that the timeframe has been extended as further options are being considered.
The previous options under consideration were twofold: either relaunch the brand with production outsourced to Aston Martin - which suddenly finds itself with excess production capacity - or shut it down completely. And those are still two very real options. Word has it that Aston has put together four concept cars for the Daimler brass to consider, all based on the next-generation S-Class platform (and thankfully not the old one).
