VOLCHOK ("young wolf" or a "wolf pup") is what we called the W124 E500 model specifically. There was also KABAN ("boar") - it's what we used to call the W140.

@@bandobando1558 it is one of the cushiest rides I drive, but not so much that it feels like you are sailing on waves. Still tight steering, but you don't feel the bumps. I haven't tried a Lexus from that same time frame, but compared to modern luxury cars, I like the ride better in the 320E

My daily is a Black 2001 W210 E430 that I found in excellent condition last year and I did similar mods such as blacking out the grill and all the chrome and tinting the windows then adding lowered sport-touring springs with a new set of wheels and tires for the ‘gangster Merc’ look. I did a mild cat-back exhaust and a cold air kit for a little more intake and exhaust noise when I want it but it still flies well under the radar and could cruise at 90 all day long without raising an eyebrow. Not a ‘fast’ car by any means (I have an W211 E55 for that) but it’s comfortable and powerful enough (about the same 290 hp as the E500) to keep up with highway traffic without breaking a sweat. The pleasant ‘German car smell’ of the leather and the gleam of the polished wood trim make it feel very inviting inside and the ‘click’ of the switches is very nostalgically satisfying. It’s quiet and amazingly rattle free for its age and is just old enough to feel like you are driving something special. A late night ice cream run for the missus takes me on a cloak and dagger mission where I imagine I’m a secret agent saving the world from tyranny. Not really, but it does make the trip way more interesting than the wife’s Honda Civic! 😂 Beautiful Mercedes!

I can totally relate to his expression with this car. Something about how cars were built back then that just makes you smile. The craftsmanship that went into them is just amazing! And this car here is clean and looks mean without going crazy with modifications. Great video!

My parents owned a silver 1987 W124 300E back in the day and I was soooooo upset with them that they did not consider buying the 190 mph W124 AMG Hammer; maybe it was the $181,000 sticker price at the time Lol. The AMG Hammer had a higher top speed than the Ferrari Testarossa (180 mph) back them!! I enjoyed driving that W124 to my Junior and Senior proms like a big Boss!! I believe I took it up to about 110/120 mph and it still had room on the speedo. The [rear] headrest button is used to retract the rear headrests when they are in the 'Up' position. Once you depress the button the headrests would retract/flop back and make a thud noise. The original audio system was 'Becker' and my dad upgraded it to the green light Alpine 7284 at one point. You brought back so many memories. Thanks for sharing!!

Man, the paint job on the car completely blows my mind! So sick and sweet bringing this classic to life 😍 😍

It might be. Unfortunately you cant tell on camera. Specially with polarized lens. Also it seems like it was mostly cosmetic restoration. I've not heard about any work with engine and specially gearbox that needs to be redone after all this years.

The Most perfect Sedan to ever exist. The budget alone was enormous. The car that brought the gentleman’s agreement and prompted BmW and Audi to the horsepower war

FYI - The headrest button only works when the rear headrests are upright. If you press that button it activates a pneumatic system and the upright headrests in the rear will go down. To lift the rear headrest it has to be manually lifted by the passenger, which is pretty easy. The original brand of radio came in 2 flavors depending on what you chose. It was either a Blaupunkt or a Becker radio system (At least if you got a Euro version).

Such a pleasure driving this ❤

No waaaaay. What a legendary car. We owned a 4.2 swapped 5.0 engine. One of the smoothest rides i’ve ever had, and one of the best cars ever manufactured.

from where you swapped ur engine and any recommendation for expert w124 shop

I've recently rediscovered my love for this model, I almost completely forgot about it since it became rare on roads nowadays. But luckily there are people keeping this machines alive, and we should be thankful to them for preserving a piece of car history

The car brings back some sweet memories of my blue-black W124 AMG 3.4 4V. One of the smoothest and purest luxury sports rides of the day back then. I had one of only 100 on the road in Japan back in the day.

Now that is a cool classic, the birth of the super sedan/saloon. I have such a week spot for factory luxury sport sedan cars with super car performance. If you know, you know but probably over 95 percent would take it for a normal Mercedes’ w124, that is what makes it so cool. Please do more reviews from this segment if possible, thanks Sam.

I've owned both a W124 (1992) 500E and a W124 (1993) 400E. While there were differences in the way they "drove and handled," performance wise, the 400E seemed just as quick. Some people have called the W124 "the best car in the world," and perhaps it came close to that when they were new. Despite the passage of some decades, your car looks very cool, very lethal, and very fun! Congratulations and I hope you are planning on keeping it for a very long time.

It was "BlauPunkt". It has a Blue Dot in front of the name which is the definition of "Blaupunkt". It means Blue Point or Blue Dot. I remember sitting in a few of them when I was younger with the "Blaupunkt" stereo system and actually getting to drive a 1995-ish V12 S600 W140 back in the early 2000's... which is one of my Favorite because that car rode So Smooth!!!!

I currently own the 1992 300E in satin matte black lowered on 20’s and dark tints and it has been and remains to be my favourite car regardless. Currently replacing the water pump which I must say is quite a challenge compared to others I’ve changed but I love the adventure of fixing it.

Love it. I do have a w124 200D, with the modest 75hp and 4 manual speed .

What a jewel of a car. A time capsule. Blaupunkt was the radio or possibly a Becker but I think Blaupunkt. No mention of the engine or it’s collaboration? Or did the swap out the original engine?

I had an 1995 E280 full options... I still miss it. But you forget to mention the most important feature about it, the airplane-style seat belt sign on top of the inside mirror... 😅

Drove a W124 400E, the baby brother. What an amazing machine. I drive brand new cars that dont even come close!

The name of the factory sound system was Blaupunkt. The side view mirrors are originally grey hue colour and didn't have any chrome details on them. For many people these cars were bullet proof and signaled the end of the indestructible Mercedes Benz error. What I still love about them, is their simplicity for the user, no manual needed to drive them. As for the gangster bit, please don't.
