1989 260E (W124)
First Mod - Euro Headlights :)

Love the wheels and of course classic black. I would go for Euro headlights (clear or smoked, I have clear). They looks so good on the W124. Not expensive and such a nice look. Not only do they look good but the light output is better. Win-Win

1992 400E
Nice car! Is that a '92 or '93? I have a 400e too, and you're just going to fall in love with the car. It's beatiful and fast.

How many miles? Mine has 171,000

at 150k miles, the wiring harness should be changed already. And i think the only years to worry about the wiring harness was 94/95. Congrats on your car and i vote for the smoked euros. They would look good on your car.

this particular thread is about the 400e.

the m-119 motor wiring harness was NOT "good-willed", like some m-104's.

V-8 wiring harness' is problem for every year 400e, e420, 500e, e500, w124 car.

i paid $650.00 last month for wiring harness [installed] on my 400e last month.

my harness was trashed at 92k.

Very nice clean 400E! I am on my second one and I still love driving this beast to the edges of the earth. Mine has 194,500 miles.

Congrats on your beautiful 124!

Did you happen to buy this in PA? I was just looking at a 92 400E with ~150k miles and the same color combo. I almost bought it, but someone else got it first. Was that you?
