MERCEDES Benz 190E 2.5-16v Cosworth - 2 of 12 Cars | Raj's Garage Ep47

[@philipm.4040]

Coil overs and BBS ftw!

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Great combo 🙌🏼

[@christopherdawes4414]

Firm purchase, and soo much better than a Beamer. These in the day were the ultimate executive express, nicely understated unless you knew your cars. Looking forward to the following episodes.

[@amber300c]

At last we have a winner. Please don't spoil it with airlift suspension and bling wheels 🙏

[@baggiesikhsingh9871]

That's what I'm talkin about!! The next best thing to an Evo 2 DTM legend... Good call:-)

[@PixelVogue]

That needs some DTM style.... Rotiform VCE alloys or similar......new exhaust LOL

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Haha... it definitely needs an exhaust !

[@mtruchado]

I'm about to get one of these. It's not the iconic 2.3 16, It's the 2.3 with just 136hp, but It has solar roof, ABS, ASD, sportline finish with plenty of extras and It's in quite good condition. I know It can't be compared with the 2.3 / 2.5 16 but anyway I think It's quite a good acquisition

[@broadsingh]

Well done Raj. Cracking cars. I just bought a w124 300ce was dry stored in Monaco for 25 odd years. Split mint and original. Very nostalgic proper engineered cars. Also have a e24 highline manual. I’ll be in touch shortly for a couple of blaupunkt bremens. Was at your sealey stand at the nec. Met Aaron there. Keep up the great work.

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Thanks for watching and hope you are enjoying your new Sealey products 👍🏽

[@nickwillobey2205]

Nothing better than a Beemer!

[@stevey-nwas1230]

Another great buy 👍👍👍👍 No rust on a merc 😮… that’s unheard of ?!!…. If it’s true , that shows the previous owners looked after the Merc perfectly 👌 I prefer the 2.5 over the 2.3, but both are great cars 👊👊👊👊 I would refresh the whole suspension, Drop a set of staggered Lorinser L 0’s on the car 👌👌👌 With a Lorinser steering wheel and a stereo system up grade And just cruise around with it Up grade the head lights also !!!

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

OK.. maybe a little bit of rust 😂 - thanks for watching and the feedback Steve 👍🏽

[@jonathanlogue5622]

Great choice Raj that was my second pick after the escort cosworth

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

You still win with the Cosworth 😊

[@jonathanlogue5622]

@CAS TV I know there's one coming to the fleet soon and I'll definitely make a trip over to see it

[@burhanyounus1212]

Legend. Properly living the dream. AMG Monoblock Performas on coilovers. Subtle but looks the business at the same time.

[@Rickster80]

Has to be coil overs for sure and BBS alloys giving it a DTM stance

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Great combo 👍🏽

[@chalkieboy4629]

Hopefully your March car is an E9x M3. As for the 190, coil overs and some period Lorinser alloys

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Thanks for watching and the feedback 👊🏼

[@yaseengaffoor]

Also, I’m sorry, the moment I saw the e30 I was blown away, watched that video a few times!!!… this not so much. I think I’m a beemer fanboy so it only makes sense.

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

No worries, they’ll be an update video on our e30 M3 soon 👊🏼

[@danieldevlin8760]

Awesome car Raj, I'd bag it on a set of monoblocks

[@domenicksantoro2597]

Make a look similar to the touring car.

[@VIVEKcarcrazy]

march will be an 80's/90's Audi to complete the german trio.

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

A classic Audi would be awesome 👍🏽

[@cyclingdragon]

Loving the series Raj - absolutely top notch fella. I own a 2.5-16 manual in blue/black so loving this one :) My thoughts - I've never seen a smoke silver with an Evo 1 kit. Sitting on coilovers with Compomotive TH1882, BBS CHR2, LM's maybe? Really looking forward to whatever you conjure up 👍

[@Mrjames900]

I’ve got a Mercedes 2.5 16v cosworth evo2 I should restore it soon

[@jeffreybanks9642]

First and foremost very nice find. I was thinking bags and something different like an OZ Opera or maybe a Work Euroline DH wheel both with period correct styling and can have a little lip.

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Interesting!

[@red9zero]

Love the Merc, but that M3 looks evil ! 👿

[@brazzawhite6384]

Static please on similar rims to the new grey m3 you fettled

[@spyroskoukidis7461]

Do a sick sound system on it, i have a 190d my self and need some inspiration😂

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

That's the plan 👍🏼

[@spyroskoukidis7461]

@@CarAudioSecurityUK cant wait to see you guys work your magic on it. Will be epic!!🔥

[@RSZ-R34]

bagged with dished mono blocks 👌

[@matthewrigby38]

Coilovers aero 2 or bbs

[@Jxthu]

Vw corrado vr6 for March purchase?

[@darrenwillmott2253]

definitely bag it and wheel wise split bbs style wheels

[@rudyoviedo9258]

Beautiful

[@leedodson2610]

Air, then get the standard wheels made into splits.. big dishes 👌🏻

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Good call!

[@richardgreen7654]

Coil overs and BBS 💯

[@asadzeethree2726]

Bro, this car came out at a time when practicality was more important than unnecessary luxury. However, I know time has changed 8:11

[@briyan36]

Yes it's the obvious choice, but I'd say it's gotta go on air + BBS RS or Monoblock splits.

[@JBavs]

Coils and BBS

[@bhaveshpattni9445]

Another great video 👍 keep it going

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Thanks 👍

[@herbivoressingh732]

Finally a 190E Cosworth 👌🏽

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

It had to be done 👍🏽

[@gerrym1096]

It’s an iconic car. You must leave as standard. Please 😉

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

The modifications have already started 🙌🏼

@@CarAudioSecurityUK Ah well….as long as it can go back stock 😉

[@B.S.N7319]

WoW, great choice bro! Love ur vlogs and ur attention to details inc ur crew is toptop notch. As for the E30 M3...its value is high agreed, BUT the 2.3 or 2.5 Cossie wasn't its rival, it was the Mercedes 190E Evolution 1 then updated 190E Evolution 2 . These Evos especially the Evo 2 values are stratospheric, like way way high and increasing £180,000 to £400,000 ... IF you can find one. Great channel and viewing, thanks bro.!. I'd go coilovers with speedline or compomotive 18" racing alloys and Momo AMG steering wheel.!.

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Thanks for watching and appreciate the feedback 👍🏽

[@allantaylor3288]

Coils and mono blocks. Nice car and a shame to mess with it personally.

[@musawenkosindhlovu9980]

Wow 🎉, what an intro

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Thank you 🙌🏼

[@hsingh630]

Both awesome cars but e30 all day.

[@irfanahmed8414]

Raj, Being into cars and of similar Era during my life, This was my favourite episode to date. having owned many E30s and Merc Cosworths currently have an identical one to yours in Black. Message me as I have coilovers for it unused. I will bring mine down to show you and we can Talk! Irfan

[@SB_170]

Porsche 924 or 944 for the March car? ❤

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Great options 👊🏼

[@MrRedcelica]

they are expensive in Australia because we never got the MB Evo or the BMW M3

The e30 m3 was never totally as a result of the 190e but because the m6 that was used in racing was too front heavy etc also the Audi v8, Ford’s Sierra cossy and Merc’s 350sl were doing damage on the circuit (DTM, ETM, BTCC) and bmw really wanted to change their luck. In terms of value whilst the Merc cossy was an afterthought colab with cosworh, the bmw m3 was ground up race car from inception with an engine derived from à formula 1 block used also in the m1 that had 2 cylinders lobbed off (a definitive race engine) . That’s why the Merc could never be as valuable. The Merc cossy would be in same value class as a e30 325i sports and the only direct competitor would be the Merc 2.5ltr Evo 1 vs any e30 m3 and then the Merc Evo 2 vs Sports Evo bmw and even then it was 235hp Merc vs 238bhp of the Bmw. The Merc was 55k new [hence why that Ltd edition was always very expensive, with adjustable suspension and fully loaded]versus sport Evo[with switchable suspension slightly wider front fender and different red plugs special seats and other details that make that car different to base m3] @ £38-42k depending on spec of bmw. In my view you can’t compare a raced bred engine vs a tuned engine hence probably reflected in values. I could go into much more detail why am m3 trounces the Merc ( but that would involve pages] 🙏🏿🙂

[@rutiguer6092]

My 190 Evolution 1 with powerpack is better than my M3 E30 Sport Evolution

[@JamesJones-qu4xv]

Every bit the M3’s equal

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

We think so too 👍🏽

[@seniorbenz]

There was no Cosworth in model designation, where’s this silly thing comes from??

[@Columbo777]

mate they won't shoot up...prices are going down...they are such a crap car to drive and over rated. Wait till the EZL fails...

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Prices are already on the up 😎

[@user-gq6sf4si6j]

Great video, sorry to piss on your parade but technically the 2.5 Mercedes 190e is not a Cosworth, only the 2.3 version is.

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

Agree... but that's just a 'technicality' 😎😊

[@rodpoole323]

they like pretending its a Cosworth lol
