Late at night driving through VA at 90 when I passed a speed trap so I decided to take off praying the next ext would come sooner than later when I saw his lights turn on in the rearview some 1000 yds back!

Huh, I always thought SS meant Sport Sedan?

Can anyone tell me what SS stands for?

I would give anything to have the 6 sp manual!!! I love my car, but that would make it so much better. I mean, I got the car free when my grandpa passed away (he bought it new and only put 8,000 miles on it in 2 years) so I really can't complain. Manual is the only thing that would make it better. That, or if it were a C55!!!

2002 W203 C200k, 1986 BMW E30 333i
I hit 260kph (161mph) once. Reached that speed effortless. I was impressed because the car is still stock. Was bouncing off the rev limiter at that speed. Then tapped off to 220kph (136mph) and stayed there for 45km (27miles)

I love my C200k. Merc is king!!!

Did you get an answer? If not, I have a C200K from 2001 with an oil change interval of 16000km. We often can drive 200 kmh, but as always, not for long. Usually you accelerate to 200 or more, then brake down to 120 and accelerate again, because of the traffic condition.
I add during the 16000 km 1 liter of oil and another one is missing at 16tkm.
This is depending of the oil brand.

Oil is very expensive, at the dealer you pay 20 euro or more for Mobile 1. The oil change interval is on newer cars 20-30000 km.
