Why The Mercedes W201 190E 16V Is a Motorsport Icon

And the best of the W201 16v is the Evolution 1 non cat and with Power pack

👍👍👍👍

love ya

thanks so much

🚀👍

Always liked these cars I remember when these were just used cars back in the mid 90's and they took a backseat to E30 M3's which were 8-10k at the time

Only the cylinder head was made by Cosworth. Everything else was Mercedes made.

Back when you could tell the difference between the entry level car and the premium model

Bad ass car but I’ll take a big body w126

prices now are at the 45-55k usd range.

I owned a 1986 16V for 12 years. The engine failed twice: first time caused by a “superseded” timing chain ,

Except for one major problem. There is zero factory or aftermarket support for this car.

، The best car

I paid 1600 for my first 190e. Loved it. I am trying to find another while clinging to my 82 300 td and my manual c240

How cool was that slow-mo of the 190 racing great video

Great video and info

Love the Need For Speed Hot Pursuit soundtrack 💪🏿

Amazing car always wanted one 2.3 16 v amazing just a real wonderful car to drive and use with history that will always be historic from Sena to DTM…. If you can buy one get one now only going up in value. True driving classic

Oh oh would lov one lol

Darn, wish I had the 16V 2.3 instead of 8V. Still love the thing though

I have a 1992 300CE. this was the car I thought I had lol

Hi from Ireland there's a 1987 2.6 straight 6 in my local scrap yard I saw yesterday in burgundy the guy was busy so I'll try him again later it's quite rare in Ireland as most 190s are diesel cars used by taxi drivers due to fuel efficiency and compact for rural Irish roads

Benz is the greatest....the world should know

W129

Trust the yank option to have a load of pointless gadgets to weigh it down lol

what a beautiful car
mercedes 190 is everlasting love

My first Tristar was a 1987 in 1988 (190e 16v).
Have had multiple AMGs since. None give the joy of that 190e 16v.

One of my favorites as a kid growing up.

I love my 190E

Nice video, informative.
I got lucky.
Found a Euro model with 33k miles, automatic.
Swapped in a 5-speed.
Car is like new, and this way, I know it couldn’t have been abused having been an automatic.

I'd think the new 190e should ve based on the new smaller C63 body...

Even in goofy German 90s movies, the 190E was pretty much typecast as the scary villain's car, against which the hero in his juiced up Opel or VW had a hard time.

I owned a smoke silver 2.3 16v manual. Amazing car all around !

Bruno Saco! 🔥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

A 190E Evo II might be the only car in the world that I want more than a CLK GTR. I'll probably never even see either :(

Спасибо большое создатель Мерседес Бенц

I love 190e👍🏽👍🏽

WAT YEARS WAS THES MAED WAT A BAD MOVE

I was a proud owner of 3 different 16v through out the 80s and 90s. Kick my self in the butt for not at least keeping one of them.

Is it normal that the US spec came without the gear configuration of the euro spec?

👍

👍💪

My grandpa has a red 2.5 16v and its my absolute dream car, i got a 1.8 for my first car as i couldnt afford a 16v, but still a cool car

Prices are way more now. Expect $25-35K. I had a chance to buy one in 2014 for $4k. It was traded in sitting on a local Ford dealers lot. I should have bought it. 95k miles and a bit rough but totally fixable. Interior was immaculate. Black exterior and dog-leg transmission. I want to kick myself when I think about it.

When I met Jason Camisa at Legends of the Autobahn and RADwood, he told me the difference in driving experience between the 2.3-16/ 2.5-16 and Evo 1 + Evo 2 is negligible.

Love all of them but makes me proud to own one knowing I’m probably not missing out on much in terms of a NA 2.3-16 and a legit Evo 2 besides about 400 grand cost and some extra visuals.

What a great video! Thank you very much for making it.

Original Merc valve stem seals are no more available even from Mercedes.
