also, if you could help me out with sites to find mods... it would be great, it seems that in the US they didn't produce 230Es since no site lists anything for them

welcome man, very nice car. As for performance mods, there are only a handful that are available for the W124 unless you start doing custom work. If you go to www.2phast.com I am sure you can get some inspiration from the red 500E as well as the teil 190E. Good luck!

Great to have you on board! I notice you have the same "dimples" on the back glass. Does anyone know what this is?

5.9L V8 with euro gas prices! you crazy man.


are the rear windshields laminated like the front? that would be my guess to the "dimples" as in the laminate is fogging.

My back glass does it also. When my mother bought her 500E in 1993 her back window was the same way. The service adviser told her that it was normal, although I can't recall his explanation.
