FOR SALE 1993 500E 6.0L Väth, Almandine Red/Black Fabric, 145kkm, €0.17M (Hammersbach, Germany)

[gsxr]

No affiliation. Credit to @dreaming.haze for locating this. Gorgeous car. Wheels aren't my fave, but easy to swap. Bit of a stripper with no driver seat memory, no heated seats, no rear roller blind. Wouldn't be surprised if it also didn't have rear reading lamps or Sound System (not enough photos to tell).

Possibly has AMG E60 suspension. Curious what front brake upgrade it has... also what driveshaft mods were performed, and why. Taller axle ratio will increase top speed to near 175mph / 280kph. Absolutely LOVE the VDO gauge modification adding the oil temp. I've NEVER seen this before and would love love love to replicate it. Need to find out where the temp sensor is located, and how the gauge movement was added! This looks 100% factory and is so much cleaner than the Brabus solution, which looked cobbled & tacked on.

VIN = WDB1240361B863299 (see post #22 below)

If you like the oil temp display, maybe consider asking at Väth? They are still up and running and who knows, their vintage car restoration branch might still have all the info.

 

[Jlaa]

Whoah! I love the oil temp display AND I love the interior (even though I normally dislike black) because the houndstooth inserts look stellar.

M102 Motor, Ölkühler nachrüsten - w201.com | 190er-Community

Hallo, da mich das Problem zur Zeit beschäftigt eine Frage zu. Hat Jemand einen Ölkühler am M102 Motor nachgerüstet, wenn ja welches Fabrikat Öl- Kühler wurde verwendet und wo/wie eingebaut, gern mit Foto? Mich interessieren ausschließlich technische…

w201.com

Look here .Is in german but some pics is easypeasy to see.
I hope i can do this here so??

 

[jnes]

I wonder when the conversion is made by Väth.. I'm playing the idea that is it really so that you can easily add 100k to asking price if/when the car is converted to 6.0 regardless when it's converted.

In business wise it would make sense to convert car to 6.0 before you sell it and add +100k for the price tag.

Of course you can always ask what you want but different thing who is going to pay those asking prices..

Thanks! Since it was registered in spring 1993, I'm guessing it may be one of the last couple VIN's. Can't tell for sure without additional photos or other information.

I love BBS RS wheels but those lips to 18” don’t do the wheels and the car justice, imo. Interior looks great though!

Are those 17" centers with 18" lips modified to take 17" centers? Looks kinda goofy to me.

 

[jnes]

Yep, 18" RS were/are 17" but wider (triple step) lips and barrels.. I agree they look kinda goofy.

Its a crazy looking step for that lip..

 

[gsxr]

If I won the Powerball and bought this car, the wheels would be top of the list to fix immediately upon delivery. Some BBS wheels look nice, but to my eyes, these aren't the ones.

 

[195910]

It needs a set of BBS Super RS wheels. Unfortunately its not made with wider setups (BBS focus on VAG applications)

What's hidden behind that blurry spot?

Thanks Markus!

Can you post full size pics please?

 

[gsxr]

What's hidden behind that blurry spot?

I suspect that's a vMax delete box which was available from an aftermarket company in Europe back in the 90's. Some old info is here. If anyone has a picture of this unicorn box, I'd love to add it to my website for archival.

 

[gerryvz]

I have posted photos of my V-Max box in the past, and am happy to again if desired.

I also met with the engineer who made this product, at his house, many years ago. His main job was working on contract engineering projects for nearby Carlsson.

Gerry, yes please! I must have missed these photos previously.

 

[gerryvz]

It was many many years ago. Perhaps even on 500Ecstasy. I have the wiring/instruction sheet, too

This stuff (V-Max box, unused BergWerks FGS box, etc.) is gonna be GOLD when I kick the bucket in about 25 years.

Someone here is gonna score some great parts at a fire sale price from my estate.

For many years, VÄTH have been – and perhaps still are – a very active seller of BBS rims among their customers.

I’m not sure about now, but in the early 2000s, they used to fit similar classic-style rims on many of their own cars, from the R170 to the W211.

p.s. sellers location = 63546 Hammersbach - is just 50 (!) km away from VÄTH HQ
