it was the tightness of the suspension and handling that impressed me the most..
Agree with lee on this ....

The biggest issue is the suspension. A friend of mine has a 1991 300e. she had the rear end links, sub-frame mounts, and control arms replaced at the dealer + front control arm bushings.........new Michelin MMX tires and new bilistien struts....(cost a fortune of course)

I drove that thing on the highway at 100mph without knowing that i was at that speed...the 103 is just one of the smoothest engines i have ever seen ........smoother than my 104 ...i loved every minute of it, and the confidence and feel are at sports-car caliber ...
