This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 is powered by a 2.3-liter M102 inline-four designed in collaboration with Cosworth, and it features a Quicksilver exhaust system, 16″ BBS E50 wheels, Yellow Speed Racing coilovers, Euro-style headlights, and a Personal steering wheel. The car is finished in Black Pearl Metallic over black leather, and equipment includes a dogleg five-speed manual transmission, a limited-slip differential, and a self-leveling suspension. The vehicle was sold on BaT in February 2022 and was acquired by the seller in 2023. This W201 shows 53k miles and is now offered with an owner’s manual, service records, spare parts, a clean Carfax report, and a California title.
The car is finished in Black Pearl Metallic (199) and features a front air dam, side skirts, wheel-arch flares, and trunk spoiler with an integrated third brake light. Additional exterior details include integrated fog lights, an electric sunroof, and asymmetrical side mirrors. Euro-style headlights have been installed. The hood and wing were repainted under previous ownership. Close-up photos of the exterior are provided in the gallery below.
The 16″ BBS E50 wheels are mounted with Toyo tires, and Yellow Speed Racing coilovers have been installed. An adjustable self-leveling suspension was equipped from the factory, and braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated discs with ABS.
The bolstered sport seats are upholstered in black leather, and amenities include a cassette stereo, cruise control, and automatic climate control.
The aftermarket Personal steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline as well as gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and instant fuel economy. Auxiliary gauges located in the center stack display oil temperature and voltage. The six-digit odometer shows 53k miles.
The 2.3-liter M102 inline-four was designed in collaboration with Cosworth and was factory rated at 167 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a Getrag five-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential. The car is equipped with an aftermarket exhaust system that the seller notes is from Quicksilver. The car most recently passed a California smog test in December 2025.
The Carfax report is free of accidents or other reported damage.
There is currently a lien on the vehicle, and the seller’s lender will need to be paid off before the title can be transferred to the next owner.
