Newbie Posts: 19 Group: Members Member #3,465 Joined: November 6, 2008	1991 190E 1.8 manual, white, no frills, FMBSH, bought three years ago as a runabout whilst looking for a replacement for my written off 98 BMW 323i Touring...the Mercedes kinda 'grew' on me and I stopped looking after a while! Now with 154K miles on the clock my 190 still looks immaculate and drives perfectly, it is a fine old car and much loved.

If it has tits or an engine it will be trouble Posts: 13,272 Group: Members Member #348 Joined: June 15, 2006	Welcome to the site. Glad you like the Merc, I too had a BMW touring that was written off and I got my 190 as a stop gap, I have had it for nearly 3 years now.

Glad you like the Merc, I too had a BMW touring that was written off and I got my 190 as a stop gap, I have had it for nearly 3 years now. Do you, like me, consider that Mercedes did the world a disservice by not producing an estate version of this car?

Resident OVP Expert Posts: 2,697 Group: Members Member #11 Joined: November 6, 2005	Couldn't help noticing the number of 3 series BMWs of the style you had in my scrappy yesterday. They had few 190s as well but they're a lot older so it's understandable. One was the donor of a new interior mirror for me - yay! Edited by pentoman, Sun Nov 9, 2008 2:55 pm.
