Three. Two of the original brass badges from my 300TD and one of the new style on the way for my 240D.

713k Miles

Here is my 240D with all of her badges. if you look carefully you can see that MB messed up and sent me the 1,000,000 mile badge instead of the 1,000,000 km badge. i guess i will have to drive it to 1kk miles to get my 1kk km badge

This car will most likely get my 300D 617 engine, and a 9.5/10 Henna red interior. The outside of the car is about as worn out as the brown hood paint visible in the picture.

I've got the 250Km on the 99 and only have 100k miles to go for the 500km badge.

The 85 doesnt have any, but is eligible for the 250km and 500Km badges.

I got one of the new badges but I took it off... after 2 years of driving with it a lot of the paint finish has worn off. Pretty sad I say.

Is that the little 240D that was for sale here in Texas a couple years ago? Seems like I remember that car, or one like it.
Would be odd for 2 brown 240's to have that much mileage, but certainly possible.....

I just got the 250k and 500k badges for mine. I think I will clearcoat to avoid the same fate.

High Mileage Form

How strange is that? I was just searching online for the high mileage form.

If you need the form, here it is:

Oh and One for my car.
