The tumbler had to be replaced on this one and my 1989 300E. Other than that nothing.
I feel that the W124 300E is a complete package. Classy looks, solid build, prestigious history, great performance, great ride. This car was definitely built to cruise the Autobahn.
I had an 1989 300E that I gave to my brother. It was mint, but I wanted the updated looks of the interior/exterior of the 1992. Mine has the 8 spoke wheels which make it look sporty.
I long for a 500E/E500! An all alloy V8 that weighs only 18lbs more than the cast iron I6 with suspension and brakes by Porsche.
I just took a head on accident in my 1986 300E at a fairly high speed, head-on and walked away with only airbag burns. This car is fast, safe, and reliable. The 300E is a great car, all around.
