I don't think any other 240D will. It is not an option
you can have it installed at the factory. It's a
proprietary feature - one that will take many factors
and many trials to reproduce the exact result!
BTW, as one lister said, the chasis did move forward
and messed up some of IP accelerator li

Steve,
Thanks for warnings on the insurance company part. I

Please understand, Tan, it isn't hard at all to pull out the frame where it
has buckled and straighten the rear of the car. I hope I did not make it
sound that way.
That's true. I will pay him a visit this weekend.

Your friend the body man knows more about unibody alignments
than I do. He probably knows a good frame shop to refer you to,
or might even have a frame machine in his shop.
Yeah, I see. Mine has 260k miles on the motor and
trans so they are probably no better than what Don's
got. The 4-speed may have some worth I guess. Actually
the body is in an exceptionally rust-free
condition(spent its life in GA and FL) and that was
the reason I decided to paint the whole car whe

I'm hoping Tan's shifter problem is a binding linkage from the engine/tranny
shifting
rearward in the crash. He does have a nice crimp in the rear u
Allow me to rephrase. I'd like to start ripping stuff out of YOUR car
and putting the stuff onto/into MY car (seats, rear bumper, etc.) and
then stock my garage with spare things taken off of your car I might
need later.

With the potential damaged frame and possible driveline issues with your car,
Tan, I think he meant it like he said it.

Wish it is so far away from Iowa. I'd love to have that for a parts car.
Tan, I am afraid that she is toast. Too bad, because it is a nice

Sorry to hear it! Car sure looks beautiful otherwise.
Yes, there sure could be damage to the tranny, as
well as the frame and the whole driveline. You
really need to take it into a body and frame shop
experienced with MBZs and have them thoroughly
check out the whole car and give you an

cream color is probably a boring color for MB's but
here in Florida you don't want to be in a car with

The wrinkle in the fender and the trunk lid misalignment are both bad signs.
They mean that that entire corner has been shoved foreword and needs to be
pulled out.
