[355LTM]

i sent the company an e-mail and they rplayed to me this:

Dear Sir,

the signal between 50-60 is a indicatory value for recommended speed in europeans citys.

For the question shift -gearbox, please contact your local Mercedes-Benz dealer.

Kind regards

Always nice to see a old merc giving it a run. Any one know the diffrence in w124 300 and w 126 300, engine vise. with the 300 se making -60 in 7.5 sec, shouldnt the nimbler 300e/320e make it around 6 s? and if so it´s close to the later e36 m3? Cant think it´s the case. Someone with a 300e please make a respond. Thx

@355LTM Attent to city speed 50 km/h !

[dannecah]

@355LTM Could it be shift first to second ?

@dannecah

I asked a guy who know alot of German cars

he said this is the city speed that agreed in EU

[dannecah]

@355LTM Did not think of that. guess all the merc swedes are speeding then, the goverment passed a new 20mph inner city speed limit a couple of years ago, soon cars will be illegal in this country, along with smoking breathing and having fun. cheers
