M103 and M104 head gaskets start leaking oil out of the passenger side rear

Was there ever actually a 1.9 liter 190E? That's always bothered me.
Outside the USA? Hendrik? Jeff?
I find my 190D quite roomy, plenty of headroom and I can put the seat back so

That said I think you may find the left door pillar objectionable, maybe not,

I've seen a guy your size with one, he was happy. Might be a tight
fit, though, and there won't be any room in the rear seat behind you!
33 on the highway is a bit high, but maybe they improved the car by
