What are the overall dimensional differences between the 190E and 300E.
I saw the two close by the other day and they look not to be too
different in length and width.  Anyone have the stats on these two cars?

The width and length is alot of difference... We owned both. I'd stick with
W124... it is a great size and that is what I got now.

 I second that, having both.  The 190 looks to be a decent size, but somehow
the interior feels cramped.... the 300 is 'just right' ...  :-)

cheers, guenter

Yeah, you do, at your fingertips:

On the upside, my girlfriend's 190E makes our garage seem a lot bigger ;)

The 190 does look a big car - but it isn't. I had one as a daily drive for a
few years, then I got a 300E - from then on, driving the 190 felt like
driving a mini - the 300E is a lot bigger.

Yes, quite a diff.  They just look so similar on the outside.
