Is any of this true or did someone just put some Sportline badging on a standard 300CE?

The Sportline option was offered in the U.S. on the 1992-1995 W124's. There were 48,590 vehicles sold here in those four model years (44,593 sedans and 3,997 coupes). If 5% is a reasonable "penetration rate" for Sportline, then less than 2,500 U.S. vehicles were so equipped. M. Hinrichs may want to e-mail the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center with his full VIN and request a "build sheet" for his vehicle with each option delineated. I have found the Classic Center to be incredibly responsive and helpful with these requests. He might also pose the "aggregate" Sportline question to them as well......we all might get lucky and find the answer!
