How is economy?
Why is it over 100kg heavier than a C200 petrol?
Reliability?

And, what is the difference in fuel...

Hi guys,

Where can I check what the acceptable Mercedes emissions are?
My car failed an emissions test however I have a feeling the goal figures were inaccurate.

Any help is appreciated

I know many car manufacturers have these bolts just to hold things up in the assembly line but are not necessary once the wheels are on

If you did it in N or P then this is how it it's meant to be. If you drive it you'll notice the rev limit is much higher. It's a safety thing Mercedes incorporated in.

It's engine noise, I can't specify exactly what it is but just like any engine with higher rpms it makes more noise.

E36 Motor - 2.8L base

So, as everyone knows the E36 motor is derived from the 2.8 M104.

It must be your tires because my C124 has very little road noise with Yokohama Decibels.
The loudest thing on the highway for me is the engine, which I assume is because it's a 4 cylinder :(
