Holy attention to detail!

The most finely polished MB V8 I have ever seen.

When I restore my 4.5, I will aim for this.

Trying to get the rest of the car to live up to this standard could be a struggle. General maintenance keeps me busy enough, besides, who's going to see it under the air filter and hood ?

I agree, it is really nice looking...but...for 7500 Euros ($9600), it better look that way.

This is probably the engine someone with a $100k+ cabrio would have.

It sure looks like it anyway!

German?

Is there a button on that sight to get an English translation? I looked, but didn't see anything that appeared to be such. Of course, since I can't read German, I may have just missed it.

You can always use the translation tool on Google to get an idea of what the German page says. Try it here.

A can of silver paint... sandblaster... anodizing and/or plating of parts, rails, etc... I really like the look of this engine. It almost looks like a 4.5 with respect to the throttle body having the idle air circuit hookup though. I guess it was not on 111 3.5's but on 109 ones?

If you scroll down a bit, the seller added text in english. For the most part the text is the same. A few wrong/bassackwards words, but nothing major.
