just crunch some numbers and do some conversions and ask for probably 400 something K miles. I'm not sure but I think: 1 mile=1.61 kilometers

You may want to put a clearcoat over the new badge before you install it. I sure wish I had. Mine has been on my car for less than two years and is looking pretty old. The white paint is turning tan and the blue paint is fading. I'll eventually have to repaint it by hand. Yeah, I know it was free, but it sure was a hassle to get the paperwork signed. The MB dealer in New Orleans is one of those that wants nothing to do with the owners of older cars. I had to annoy the service manager (who told me, "We don't work on cars that old!", as if I would actually let them work on it) into singing the form just to get rid of me. It took over two hours worth of excuses and buck-passing, and would have taken longer had I not blocked the service entrance with my car. The squeaky wheel gets the greasin', and the leaky Benz in the way gets a mileage badge!

Arcticathlon. What's the history on you 240D's motor? Is it original? Rebuilt? Once twice etc? I'll be applying for me 250K and 500K badges soon but my motor only has 200K on it since the rebuild.

Broken Odometer

My 87 300D has about 187,000 on the odometer. We think it actually has 232,000 miles on it. It has been flagged as a true mileage unknown car. If I get the odometer fixed does it matter about the flag? I would be happy just getting the badge based on the shown mileage instead of the actual mileage.

187,000 miles is 300,950 klicks.
232,000 miles is 373,370 klicks.

-Jim

Mileage will be based on whats showing on the odometer. Download the form from MBUSA, fill it in and take it to your local dealer for verification, mail it (yourself) and wait.

I've got the 250k Km badge on the front of my 99.

Where?

Call me blind, but I just went all over their site and they only seem concerned about selling me a new MB.

I guess I will have to join the owners club and search that area next.
