By the 1990s, Mercedes officially bought AMG, turning a rogue tuning shop into their official high-performance weapon. This era was defined by pure, bulletproof mechanical engineering. This was the era of cars like the W210 E-Class, featuring legendary engines that would routinely run for 500,000 km without breaking a sweat. If you bought a Mercedes in the 90s, it felt like it was carved out of a solid block of granite.
