MBWorld Fanatic!
I love it...I have the 322 hp 500E not the 315 Hp E500. I've had it 3 years...stepped up from a 1992 190E 2.6. Maybe 340 hp now with chip and K&Ns.
The car just rocks and is pretty easy to work on. Has 136K. I just did full upgraded suspension and 17" EvoII rims. I need a T-chain and a wiring harness (common at my mileage) but an aftermarket warranty will hook me up with the 3-4 grand bill real soon...other than that, no real problems to complain of. Car is solid.
I have not lost a drag race or highway romp to date...but haven't come across any M5s or new AMGs as of yet....may succumb to the new tech cars, but may not; my speed limiter is removed and it goes close to 160 mph.

RC Imports in Rockville MD.
It's a bit of a drive, but the shop is 2 blocks from the Rockville METRO. Rick Ellinger is the owner, and a real expert on MB's. He heads up the Tech committee on the MBCA GWS chapter as well as racing MB's. Rick really knows the cars, and he has always treated me more than fairly whenever my MB's have needed work.
Phone at his shop is (301) 762-4205.
