But in all seriousness, the 5 mph bumpers are a necksaver. Had a friend down the street (young girl) who was nailed in the rear (smirk) by a big trash truck. Car was pushed like 8 ft while stopped. Nothing happened to the W123. The impact strip was even fine. With Euros, most likely would have been way more serious. A hitch is going to put a hole in a plastic bumper, and thats about it. Its about 4 inches of non-impact resistant steel sticking out behind the bumper.

Don’t loose sight of what Mercedes did to make these cars extraordinary.

if it don’t blow black...take it back.
