You were in 4th gear at 25mph? You were shifting WAYYYYYYYYYYY too early. You're right, 1st barely gets you moving, 5 mph perhaps.
My 190D shifts like this:
1st to 5 mph
2nd to 20 mph
3rd to 40 mph
4th to 60 mph
5th to 80 mph
That's how I shift normally. 1st and 2nd I usually shift at 2500 rpm. 3rd and up I'll shift at 3000.
If you were in 4th at 25 mph that engine was lugging.
