Had no problems at 138mph with fresh Dex3 and 190k 300E

TheGerman made a good point (earlier in this thread), about Dex IID in the older w124 transmissions. He said Dex III is not 'backwards compatible'. I believe his information to be correct, along with the fact that present MB dealers don't give a crap about 15+ yr old cars and would happily sell you Dex III now, along with a new transmission down the line or better yet, a trade in.

And curiously, what's with you guys that are so interactive 'dependent' that you have to have a radio or music on at 138+MPH? I think the visceral effect of going 140MPH really ought to be enough of a rush. My old E type Jag would do an honest 160MPH and I sure as hell didn't want the radio going or any distractions....if for no other reason, I could listen for noises in the engine/drive train that might prove fatal at some point.
