It'd cost too much to convert the interior for what the body kits worth...the only thing nice about that car I might add

Nice looking CE but I'm curious if this is the same CE which has been around in the past on the market for sale... A couple of my friends looked at one just like that and they said the paint condition was horrible.

Also, Louis Vuitton is whack. I personally think it's played out.
If someone is going to redo their interior - at least use Gucci and stay away from Coach...

gucci, coach, louis, whatever, it's all tacky, and none is better than the other. custom interiors are cool, but when did it become acceptable for a grown man to make the inside of his car look like an overpriced handbag...

I just like how the exterior looks, almost prefect, just needs the 94-95 facelift...I have a near perfect European Burgundy interior with buckets in rear....I don't much care for the interior but I have not seen the thing yet...I might cruise by this week and take a look at the paint...if the paint is not perfect or the wheels are replica's then it drops quite a bit in value

only 92 had the M104 DOHC with the older CIS fuel injection. Very rare to find replacement parts for most of it as only the 1992 300CE and 300SL had these. Not the year before, or after and different than anything previous. GOOD LUCK!!

I thought the 90-92 300CE and 300SL, and 1992 300SE all had this engine and fuel injection combination until the 3.2 in 1993.

The 1990-1992 300CE had the m104.980 and the 300SL for the same years as well. Until 1992 the 300SE was an M103. The 1992 300SE got that M104 but with the update fuel injection. Fuel injection and ecu management were different for multiple reasons but mainly the variable cam timing in the first 2 years for the CE and SL which make replacement parts quite rare.
Ive seen many fuel injections key items go for triple the money of the common years.

Past and beyond fuel injection and engine management they are all perfect and very sweet cars!!

Specifically speaking of the U.S. version 300CE:

So you are saying that the 1990 and 1991 300CE does not have the same fuel injection and ecu management as the 1992 300CE has?

I guess from my experience, only the 1990 to 1992 300CE and 300SL have the same fuel injection parts. I looked around and they have the same engine for those years. I guess I was always staying away from the 92 for that reason but I should have said from 90 to 92.

LV, Gucci, Coach etc. do not sell their material by the roll. Not only is this stuff very tacky, its very fake, which makes it much worse.

1990-1992 300CE used CIS injection on their 3.0l M104. 1993 was the first years for the 3.2l HFM injection.

Production is contracted out after the design is completed. They wouldn't even have a roll of leather to sell you.

Very Slow Mercedes
In my driveway!!!!!! I feel bad I have no use for another car but I converted a BMW fanatic ....The car is super clean-exterior is like a 8+ interior is subject to state of mine but the Carbon Fiber job that was done in place of the wood is 9+ for quality,fit & finish...Suede lined trunk is a bit much..ground scraper but with stock ride quality...and some things that have to be seen to appreciate...

We will to be at SoCAL Euro on the 11th.
with
92 300CE-custom
95 E220 Cabriolet-Turbo
78 6.9 convertible
95 500E aLamndine Euro
95 E36 AMG Cabriolet if it clears customs in time......
