This 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300E is finished in Black (040) over Grey leather (268), and features a fully authentic Lorinser body kit and wheels. Power is provided by a 3.0-liter inline-six mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. The car has lived in California since new and and was originally sold by European Motors LTD in San Francisco, California. It remained with its original owner before being recently acquired by the selling dealer. Features include cruise control, an electric sliding sunroof with tilt, and headlight wipers. Recent service includes an oil & filter change and a new hood insulation pad. Now with 147k miles, this 300E Lorinser is offered by the selling dealer with the original window sticker, two keys, factory literature, a recent California smog inspection, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title.
This W124 is finished in Black (040) with Grey lower body cladding. The selling dealer notes the front and rear bumpers have been refinished due to fading. The car is equipped with a full Lorinser body kit including both front and rear bumpers, side skirts, and spoiler. Installed with the kit, the car also features additional lower fog lights which work in conjunction with the factory inner fog lights of the headlights.
The car wears 3-piece 16” BBS RT Lorinser wheels with Goodyear Eagle GT tires measuring 225/50 all around. A spare authentic Lorinser center cap is included with the sale. The seller notes the tires still have excellent tread remaining but do have 2012 date codes and should be replaced due to age. Additionally, brake pads and rotors were recently replaced.
The cabin is finished in Grey leather (268) with a Black upper dash and Zebrano wood trim. Factory amenities include an electrically-adjustable steering column and driver seat, power windows, automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, cruise control, dual front airbags, and an electric sunroof with tilt function. The original Becker Grand Prix head unit remains with the car. Some cracks can be seen in the wood trim around the shifter bezel and window switches. The leather seats remain free from any tears and the dash is also void of any cracks.
The leather wrapped steering wheel frames the gauge cluster showing 147,070 miles on the odometer, approximately 100 of which have been added by the selling dealer. Gauges include a 160-mph speedometer, 7k-rpm tachometer with an inset analog clock, fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and instant economy.
The 3.0-liter M103 inline-six was factory rated at 177 horsepower and 188 lb-ft of torque paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Detailed pictures of the engine bay have been provided and no corrosion is present on the headers or anywhere else on the car. A new hood insulation pad was recently installed as well as an oil & filter change in preparation for the sale.
Additional undercarriage photos are provided in the gallery. An unused spare wheel and tire, jack, and tool roll are included as part of the sale.
The Carfax report lists ownership solely in California with linear mileage updates and no accidents or damage throughout the history. This 300E Lorinser is now offered with the original window sticker showing an original MSRP of $46,230 in 1990, two keys, factory literature, a recent California smog inspection, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title.
The W124 is undoubtedly one of the most well-built offerings from Mercedes. These cars became instant favorites among buyers all across the world and all major tuners in the era gave it their own flare. While the most notable is the Hammer from AMG, examples such as this Lorinser are equally as rare on the market today. The M103 inline-6 cylinder remains unmodified and is known for its longevity and reliability so buyers looking for something unique and Sacco-designed should take a closer look. In the 90’s, Lorinser was a highly desired tuning company and numerous celebrities got in on the action including Michael Jordan, Mike Tyson, and Paul McCartney. Even today, Lorinser is producing unique Mercedes builds and has its own classic center in Germany. You won’t be seeing any other W124 Lorinsers on your daily commute so dare to be different and make the 90’s great again.

Thank you, much appreciated
@Handcuffsready It's a coolant light, coolant level was a little bit low. Coolant was added and car was inspected for leaks. There are no leaks and coolant light does not come back on. Thank you!
What light comes on in the dash at the end of the driving video when the speedometer hits 80ish? Thank you

Now this is one is neat. Almost impossible to find a complete Lorinser kit today and these really were something special back in the day.

Hear me out: paint the lower cladding black to match the car and add some H&R springs... would look absolutely killer imo
Wow, I've never seen 300E in a full Lorinser kit before. Those 3ps wheels alone worth around 4k. Great color combo as well.
