Max speed at red line on RPM's by MB '85 Technical Data Passenger Cars manual is 88.8 MPH for 4 spd trans and 85.7 MPH with automatic. One thing to remember is in early '80's the fuel was 50 + cetane through out the US, now days it hard to find diesel with more then 42 cetane.

I appreciate that info, some kid on a local VW bbs was saying he had his parents 240 up at 100 (according to his buddies speedo in the car next to him). I didnt want to use the term Bull***** loudly, but I was curious as to the factory numbers.
I way dig those SD alloys though, I always wondered if those would fit/look cool on a W123
