oh- and do you have a write-up about the install? one of my biggest gripes with my 190 is the ****ty braking power.
i'm used to the heavy duty brakes from the bmw's, and i feel like i have to really mash the pedal and still think twice about if i'm stopping soon enough.

I probably ownd both when they came out and was doing 30/40k miles per year and changing two yearly. The 300E photo you show looks just like an E class to me. Can you explain the history and difference a bit. Glorious cars, love the pics. keep 'em coming.

Looks like an E class of the time to my eye. Hence my confusion.
