147k on mine, runs absolutely perfect.......it is VERY rewarding to drive a perfect running 300E....it truly is an incredible car.....I've got mine just about perfect at this point (engine, steering, suspension) everything is perfect and to spec. It rides/handles so well it is actually very tempting to just go and drive around for no reason! And wow does that engine rev/fly.

My old 1986 300E was sold to a friend with approx 218kmi on it. He stopped by my house yesterday with 276kmi on the clock now. It's due for the usual M103 head rebuild though, as oil consumption has gradually gotten worse. Still, 276k on the original head ain't bad...!

It's about to get fresh Bilsteins all around, and probably the head rebuilt as well. At this rate it should be well over 300k in a couple more years...

Your photos show another ones of the dents in rear.

The W124 dent conspiracy is alive and well...

My blue '87 has a similar dent, below the left tail light (click here). My white '87 has a little deeper dent in the rear (click here).

Weird, eh?

I'm in on the conspiracy - wife dented the back of the '93

Not really in on the mileage competition - only 145K. On the plus side, it's almost broken in...

My '95 E320 got one of those this month, ... a customer backed her Tacoma into the corner of my car, took out both left doors and a left fender on the Tacoma, my tail-lamp has a scuff, bumper has a scuff (and some of her paint), and a dent between the two the size of a quarter.

Oh, it has 140,000 miles.
