I just received the 250000 km badge for the new-to-me 1995 E300D. Of the four Benzes I've owned, two were eligible but the owners didn't know (or hadn't bothered) and one had gotten the badge but never mounted it. The fourth rolled over 155000 miles under my ownership and I had it into the dealer that same day to get the form signed. Mercedes has a really nice program but dealers don't seem to know about it, maybe that's why owners don't either.

I find that it helps to spray the badge with clear coat before mounting it permanently on the grille.
