Hey Port!!
On your car, I understand what you mean. There have been people who have kept their current engine but just wants abit more power. All the c classes which says C230, C200, they're all just 1.8 with kompressors that's all (the new C classes). The kompressor just gives the power of the said series that's all. You want to keep your car but just get some power out of it. Superchargers or small turbos would be the best bet. DOn't need those damn powerful turbo, but something which would just give enough kick. I don't know how much it would cost but you could always inquire. Keep the car dude, cause you know it inside out and am sure there's some attachment to it like I with my car. I refuse to sell it no matter what cause I know it inside out and am trying to make it a better car. Go to that site below, some guy moded his car, even tho it's a 2.4 190E, point is he just needed adequate power and put in a supercharger. Who said you can't mod a 190E standard engine?

OR a cool option would be to get a C class half cut and put it in. The Kompressor models. They're 1.8 with adequate power. Cost? I don't know but these are just suggestions. Some guy put in a C36 engine into a 190E, am sure you could put in a C class engine into yours, besides the C200 and C230 are 1.8s!! But with some work that's all. For all you know, you could get a damn good mileage out of it. JPJ approval wouldn't be a problem since both cars are 1.8 litres. This way you'd get a new engine, same litre and more power!! Executive Sports sedan? Oh yeah babe that's the way!
In buying a half cut for mercs, this is a note for everyone else as well, try your best to negotiate on the price. A friend of mine spent almost 20k on an engine which I can get from 5 - 8k. He bought it from Stuttgart, it's an insane pricey place!!
Great idea to stay away from Proton dude!! I had a wira. Badnews!! Re-occurring problems. In fact got used to have another 2 at home! Rattles after 1 year, window rosak, bearing problems almost every year!!
