Optima does not make a battery that is a direct fit for the W201, the Optimas don't have recessed posts and are taller than the stock W201 battery. Your best bet is to measure your battery and then take those measurements and compare them to the available Optimas, I know the red top will work but you need to make sure that the top posts won't impact the hood when closed and you would also need to get some battery terminal covers so nothing comes in contact with the positive/negative posts of the battery.
