    hmm Any particular tubular manifold companies you guys recommend? What would the approx gain be on such an installation? 2%? 4%?

    I think there is a big difference between the auto and the manual. Mercedes 300e 24v. 0-200 km/h - YouTube

    At what point did the W124 take a nosedive?

    hmm The W201 is a bit cramped for us over 6`1 though. and the backseat is not really useable either for full-grown men. Also I cant help but find the W124 interior superior, it feels like more luxurious.

    At what point did the W124 take a nosedive?

    Interesting perspective. Just cant for the love of god see the reasoning behind cheapening the W124 compared to the W201. The importance of the W201 is one thing, but what about the importance of the E-class?

    At what point did the W124 take a nosedive?

    +1 I share the same sentiments. Just sold my 190E 2.3. Beautiful car but ultimately I wanted something faster, and a 2.6 wouldnt have been enough of a step up I reckon. I bought a 300E-24 manual sportline which is another world really when it comes to performance.

    At what point did the W124 take a nosedive?

    Well according to some, it did. A bloke I know who calls himself skwdenyer over at pistonheads put it this way: For anyone considering a 4matic, a few observations, if I may, having owned several 2- and 4-wd, pre- and post-facelift W124 wagons. Post-facelift cars are not as well put together...

    I personally find it somewhat inplausible that Mercedes w201 has a higher build quality...

    At what point did the W124 take a nosedive?

    Was for instance the 90-91 models lesser than - say the 87 models? Was it a continous slide or a more marked once where you can say "Before XX/XX, they were like this and after XX/XX they were like this"

    At what point did the W124 take a nosedive?

    Its common consensus that at one point, the bean counters came and and started cutting costs re: the W124. Some say its the facelift in 1993/1994 which marks the beginning of the nosedive in quality - but did it come even earlier? Just curious.

    hehe You cant :D Seriously though, If the bottom end of the engine is fine Im gonna leave it as is for now and do a top end/CIS refresh and some other small bits and just enjoy it as mercedes intended for a season or two. But as the saying goes, with great power.... comes even greater power :D

    Nice, not bad at all. Aside from the 36 bottom end you have a sports filter and a free-flow exhaust right? Or did I miss any other mods.
