This 1985 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3 AMG was reportedly built by AMG North America in Westmont, IL and shows only 34k miles on the odometer. Finished in Astral Silver Metallic (735) over Black MB-Tex (171), power is provided by a 2.3-liter inline-four paired with a four-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Equipment includes a sliding sunroof, cruise control, a power adjustable passenger-side mirror, Euro-spec headlights, an Alpine head unit, an authentic stamped AMG body kit, AMG interior wood trim, and AMG Penta wheels. The seller acquired the car in March 2024 on The MB Market and has added approximately 500 miles. Maintenance performed by the seller over the last 12 months includes new shocks, bushings, brake rotors, and pads on all four corners, along with a regular oil service, upgraded JL sound system, ceramic window tint, and alcantara trunk liner. Now showing only 34k miles, this 190E AMG is now offered for sale by the current owner with an original Beverly Hills Motoring custom fitted car cover, one key, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title.
The body is finished in Astral Silver Metallic (735) and features an authentic AMG body kit including extended front and rear bumper, side skirts, and trunk spoiler. All exterior trim including the front grille has been painted to match the car as part of the AMG treatment. Exterior equipment includes Euro-spec headlights, a sliding sunroof, an automatic antenna, and a power adjustable passenger-side mirror. The seller notes some chips and scrapes on the underside of the front bumper. The paint quality is reportedly in excellent condition with no signs of fading. The seller had a ceramic window tint installed to protect the interior from UV damage.
Fitted to the car are authentic 16" AMG Penta wheels which come wrapped in a set of Pirelli Cinturato P7 tires measuring 195/50 on all four corners with 2021 date codes. Each wheel shows original AMG stamps and come with period correct AMG center caps. Recent service includes new shocks and bushings, along with new brake rotors and pads.
The cabin is upholstered in Black MB-Tex (171) with a matching black dashboard and carpets. Extended AMG Burl wood trim can be found covering the center console, dashboard, shift knob, and doors. Interior features include automatic climate control with working air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, an Alpine head unit, and an electrically adjustable passenger side mirror. The seller had a new JL sound system featuring new speakers, subwoofer, and amplifier with noise/rattle insulation installed. The trunk area was covered in alcantara leather at the same time, and an updated alarm system is also installed.
The four-spoke steering wheel frames analog instrumentation including a 125-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock and gauges for fuel level, economy, coolant temperature and oil pressure. The six-digit mechanical odometer currently shows 34k miles from new, 500 of which have been added by the seller over the last 15 months.
This W201 is powered by a 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine which produces 120 horsepower and 136 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. Maintenance performed in February 2024 included new shifter linkage bushings, new valve cover gaskets, and an engine oil & filter change. The catalytic converter has been removed prior to the seller's acquisition. Recent service includes the aforementioned new shocks, bushings, brake rotors, and brake pads, along with a regular scheduled oil service.
This 190E AMG shows first registration in Chicago, IL in May 1985 where it was reportedly built by AMG North America in Westmont. The Carfax report shows linear mileage updates and no accidents or damage since new. Now showing only 34k miles, this 190E AMG is now offered for sale with an original Beverly Hills Motoring custom fitted car cover, one key, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title.

@ProdigalPetrolHead : OK, I understand that. Maybe it could better be described as a sheep in wolves' clothing.
@FrankBarrett Focusing on the power output seems like missing the point here.
My Wyoming friends would call this an "all hat and no cattle" car: body kit, wheels, wood trim, spoiler, sound system, tinted windows, etc. but no engine or suspension mods. Wow, it makes 120hp!
Just curious, why the quick sale after only 1 year, 2 months?
