Sportline steering wheel (slightly smaller than stock) with a quicker steering ratio for faster turning

Sportline seats with better bolsters and firmer thigh support for sportier driving

Sportline leather covered gearshift knob

Wider wheels and tires


The Sportline option is the factory limited edition and is extremely rare and coveted. Stevge Nervig of mbcoupes.com owns one and I have seen it, it is very nice. In the UK you could get this option on the wagon also.

The Sportline option was also available on the W201 190 series.
