99' E320 4MATIC ESTATE / 92' 190E 2.6
I have a bone stock 92' 2.6l white/grey 2tone exterior with black int. I keep seeing 190's locally modded especially on the 55 frwy here in Orange County CA. I just want to thank all you Newport Grandma's that bought these in the late 80's / early 90's ("the late earlies"). To have an abundance of clean cars with tons of spare/parts vehicles to mod and tweak. It's the best little car out there that still looks good today. IMO. If I had a few more bucks lying around I would too. For now, i'll just drive it and enjoy the view...

I BELIEVE IT! Wish mine was. It would be worth tweaking and modding like the beauty you have! The 2.6 takes a while to get to the power band but she'll cruise at 80-90mph comfortably for a long time! My little commuter loves the early and empty cali freeways!

My 2.3 is sluggish below ~2500RPM but after that is starts to move.
She loves cruising at 80-85mph at 4,000RPM.
