I have a 190D 2.5 and it is by far the best damned car on the road. Absolutely bulletproof. However, it tends to burn glow plugs all the time. I keep replacing them, but they keep burning. It has well over 300,000 miles and is still going strong. I couldn't be prouder of it.

I too have a 89 190D 2.5L... I guess you know this is a rather rare car in that only like 360 copies were imported to the US that year. Many came via the European Deleviry Program as did mine. I was the second owner however. The "Tank" was the car my son drove throughtout high school and college. It came by it's name after he hit a washing machine dropped off of a truck directly in front of him. It most likely saved his life and the lives of the three friends riding with him. I now have it back as my son is the proud owner of a C230K Coupe (2.3 L.) I plan on keeping the "Tank" a long, long time...it's part of the family !

Ours just happens to be called "Blue Thunder" because of its blue paint, and of course of its stellar acceleration. Indeed, the cars of that era were tanks. We had a 560 SEL back about 10 years ago... Now that was a tank!
