Reader submission #1: The ultimate 190D

…but why?  These came with a much more lame diesel, so someone swapped in the turbodiesel unit from the larger 300 (now known as E-Class).  They also claim some good suspension upgrades, so this could be a great, torquey driver with excellent MPG.

We find it particularly useful when sellers include two shots from exactly the same interior and no shots of interior, engine compartment (especially with a swap), underside, etc.
