Vroom, Vroom... I got my 87 190D 2.5 Turbo!
ok, it's a little rough, dings on every surface, paint faded (what 87 doesn't have some?) no spare, bolt missing from driver's seat, E-brake button missing, no toolkit, no antenna at all... tiny gasser battery attached, belt tensioner cockeyed a bit, and get this...
501380 miles... YEAH BABY!!!  the car drives like a DREAM!!! shifts oddly, like it's advancing through the gears too rapidly, but the little car handles it with aplomb! I've not had this much fun driving a car since I drove my father's corvette! I installed a new tensioner, and took it to get titled. I'm driving it all day today, and I'll get some pictures when I get home.

This should fix that shifting issue:

Do you think the 1/2 mil miles are on the original motor?

looks that way.
the maintenance book goes all the way to 320K... no mention of a motor before then, and the engine bay looks unmolested. however, the belt tensioner was original MB, with the plastic covers still present!!! and I have ZERO belief that it's been on there 501K... so it's possible the motor was swapped at some point.

it appears the alda is either bypassed, or adjusted out significantly. I get some black smoke if I get on it hard... and I have yet to feel any turbo lag...

I want a 190 2.5 turbo! I bet its a bit faster than my 2.2
 I think my 420 would still win though.

Congrats on the purchase. Get a set of delrin shifter bushings on 190rev for that puppy and it'll feel like a brand new car.

Okay I upgraded the front rotors brake calipers to 124 brake rotors and calipers
Went from my looks like a 10.5 to 11 and a half inch rotors and calipers now take the full size pads and it looks like it looks nice we'll see how it works
