Why is my 240's front end lower than......

[stcbenz83]

My 300's front end is higher than my 240's. i even noticed this at the g2g we had last spring when i compaired mine to the american models. Is it because its a euro? look at the pic and see for yourself

It is an optical illusion caused by the skinny bumpers....and skinny grill....

count the nubs on the spring pads. I used to think the same thing.

measure from the fender lip to the road on each car and allow for tire size difference. or maybe measure to the center of the wheel.

Mine is the same way. Euro 240D sits lower than North American 300D. Cost me an oil pan when I first got the 240D.

Harder to change oil too.

Its because in Europe the 240's are often seen ripping up pavement as they rocket down the autobahn, gotta be lower for better handling!!
