Since my car is in the shop I bought this

My car is in the shop for a airmatic failure. the e55 was my daily driver, so i figured this would be a good time to buy a beater / rain car, so I purchased this 300E. Now let the modding begin on this one

HOLY ***** that interior's CLEAN!!!!!!!!; I personally refuse to buy cars with light color interiors because of how dirty they get but I COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW CLEAN THAT CAR IS. I smell Euro AMG treatment

BTW - the pics of the surge tanks should be up soon - once I took of the D-noc off the engine cover and airbox - the black paint looked awful compared to the surge tanks and there's no way I'm throwing those pics up - wet sand, new gloss black paint and then I'll post the pics - THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!

Nice...! Remember someone fitting a turbo to one of these many years back and generating about 300 horses and near 500E performance...

I think that was Pumpish, but the claim was 600 Hp.

Here is one of many Youtubes,

Shardul - Sweet buddy..congrats!!! My first Benz was the exact car, two tone green W124 E320 ('94) with the same tan interior. I missed that car. I say Monoblocks and lower...and you have yourself a baby Hammer in the making. Looking forward to seeing it. Here is my old girl (the pics are so old, they are low res digital pics when digital camers first came out..Sony Mavica!):

Yacht Master, this Pumpish is certainly a beast! The one I remember though was different. It wasn't quite as powerful (circa 300 bhp) but it was the reliability that astounded me - the owner used it for several years as a DD without problems...! I'll see if I can find the magazine somewhere in my study...

Very cool. I was just talking to a buddy last week and telling them how much I like those 300E models. I would actually like to find a nice white 500E of that vintage.
