Differential Gear Ratios!!!

Does anyone know what the highest gear ratio available for the w210s?

Anyways thanks guys

You want acceleration? or you want speed. i see some 2.33 max and 3.24 min. but i think you can try the 2.82 for 280 - 300 km/h.. maybe you can use an OEM locked diff. some 126's & 124's comes with optional lsd diff's

Wagon axle ratios are higher numerically than the sedans.

OEM standard open 3.07 in the wagons and 2.80s in the sedan for gas motors. Not familiar with the diesels.
