Bought 190E yesterday. first MB
I recently bought this car.
Its a '92 2.6 Sportline with a 5spd. I didn't know to much about it, except that it ran well and I really liked it as soon as I saw it. Then I was looking at it and under the hood it says complies with canadian emmissions. So it must be a Canadian model. The carfax showed it was originally registared in Texas. I think the headlights are "euro lights" and bumpers, but am not sure.
Anyways I am very happy with the car, and was wondering if anyone knew where I could find some info on a Canadian model or the sportline. Thanks.

Nice. The 2.6 Sportline is mechanically the same as any other 2.6 except that steering box has a lower ratio and the suspension is slightly lower than stock, roughly a half inch via different coil springs and larger sway bars. Cosmetically, it has the smaller steering wheel, leather sport seats and Sportline badges on the flanks and shifter.

Euro headlights - yes
Euro front bumper - no (not sure about the rear).
You also have W202 wheels on that car. The original 8-holes were flatfaced (IE: no lip). The size of the wheel is probably the same 15x7.

Sweet. Thanks for the reply. So far I have only had a problem with the fog lights constantly blowing a fuse. I really am enjoying this car. Thanks again for the help. Hopefully in the future I can tastefully modify it.
