I just saw this clip...and..wow....
How can I make my car handles like these!!!!????
I know it's 500e, but I am not interested in the power, but I am interested in the handling!! Look at these cars, they move like 2500lbs cars!!
Does anyone have any information about the set up of these cars?
Rims, tires, swaybars, shock, springs, and etc....
Thanks.

Start by getting some rims then lowering it. if you want luxury ride cut springs want sport ride get sport springs. Then start with oversize sway bar.

Do you recommend any shocks and springs? If I get swaybars, I will go with either sprotline or 500e ones since my MB is DD.

I not sure if you can make your e320 handle like the 500e even if you were able to get all of the W124.036 suspension components. The 500E was also widened aside from being lowered and to make all suspension components fit into a regular W124 not too mention the additional welding done by Porsche to strengthen the chassis would be a tall order and then some. You will also need to have your car balanced to achieve the 50:50 weight distribution the W124.036 possesses to further stabilize the car. The W124.036 has a handling feel that escapes the majority of modern Mercedes models including the AMG’s...and most other sedans for that matter.
I do know of a 1993 500E transplant into a W124 cabriolet coupe (engine, drivetrain, suspension, brakes, euro headlights, front and rear fenders, seats as well lots of body mods to make all 500E parts fit) and that job (almost done) is a very careful transplant that required as much welding as the original W124.036 car. Aside from the engine like you said, the cost of a true W124.036 suspension components transplant and the body work to add will cost a lot to begin with.

Yeah, I kind of figured out that moding W124 e320 costs a lot of money and maybe not worth it. I think I better just buy 500e lol.
I just love moding cars and I have been doing it, but I just figured that moding MB....is a lot harder and more $$ involve compare to BMW or other european cars....

I haven't decided whether I will put tons of money into my MB.
This is my first 4door sedan that weights 3500lbs with automatic tranny. I have driven only 5 miles since I purchased it due to some problems.
I'm almost done with fixing it and I gotta drive it at least a few month and see whether I will mod it or not.
Like all you guys said, it costs $$ to mod MB, and I am not sure whether it's worth it.
I am sure that I will put bigger rims, wider tires and bigger swaybars though.
I have doen it all the cars that I have owned.
