Maybe it’s just a rumor, but it makes for a pretty cool story.
The interior itself is the total opposite of the exterior: it looks just as comfortable as any other top spec 190E.

Love these cars, and I really like Ultraleggeras. They just don't work together. At all. Which is a bit surprising because they generally look good on anything.
For me, it's just because the wheels have no lip… I know moving the spokes outward helps with brake clearance, but it makes them look high offset no matter what offset they actually are. Being sunk a little from the huge flares doesn't help their case.
These are the only wheels allowed:

Only caveat: If they are lighter and fit over the brakes for racing.
I'll give just about anything a pass for racing.
Oh man, I love Motoring Con Brio! Awesome post.
MInt. I see "regular" 2.5-16's from time to time, infrequently enought that I gawk. Wasn't the Merc 2.5-16 developed before the M3? I'm no historian, but I thought the M3 was actually the rebuttal.
Ultraleggeras could have bit more aggressive offset, now they're sitting inside the arches. But the bold bodykit and rather square body design are indeed not the best combination with the wheels, I've to agree.
The Evo II was released in 1990, when M3 had been in production for quite some time. Both the 190E 16Vs and M3 evolved during their life cycle, I only meant the Evo II had to beat the latest M3 model.
And so were born the weird pants that S-classes and WRXs wear today…
And I'll use this as an excuse to embed this.
I was a teenager in Germany back when the DTM was really hot, this Video always gets me chocked up
[youtube Gw-AxiVqihM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw-AxiVqihM youtube]
That is the best YouTube video clip in the history of anything ever.
You know, this spring I travelled in a Volkswagen Golf V5 and that song came up in the stereo. Man, did it send chills down my spine when I realised what it was.
That video is incredible.
I nominate this song as the best '80s driving song. I have no idea what he's saying (heard John Steinbeck) but the association with this video makes it at least in the top 3 German driving songs.

Here's a good translation.
I have posted this video here and on my personal blog at least four times over the years. It continues to generate tremendous response and every time I see it around I have to take six minutes and one second to enjoy it all over again.
Yeah, that definitely sends chills down the spine, and Verdamp Lang Her is definitely staying on my iPhone.
The W201 cossie still holds as my #1 Car of all time. Beautiful, comfortable, fast, sexy… Hmm, wonder if I can find one…
