I'm in NJ, USA. Just wondering how long to expect if we were to go ahead and spec out the 350d now.

Sorry I should indicate where is Wanty from. Because the diesel problem here in North American. I want to know if he is in North America and due for a diesel pick up. I am still waiting for my diesel which I order back dec 8th of last year.

Doubtful Wanty is from the US...

tery

anyone has any updates on EPA certifying diesel ?

Wanty

Ordered in January and told May delivery, being in Sydney Australia we are immune from the red tape hassles in North America with diesel issues.

Wanty

Sydney Australia , diesel was the only choice due to the high country mileage I will be doing.

Hi Wanty, just wonder which dealer you bought from ? Alexandria ? Is it possible to know your package deal ? drive away price ?

Wanty

MB Sydney, drive away price was RRP. Demand is strong and supply is weak so they wouldn't discount . The package I got was on my previous message .

If you use an iPhone, give CarPlay a try. The maps are much easier to read.

Many thanks, Wanty
your car looks great and I'm imagining mine as well.
also just got confirmation that mine is scheduled for production on 25th Aug then might see it in Oct ... a long waiting game.
mine is GLS350d, sport package, night package, pano, Diamond white

Wanty

It will look even more spectacular than mine, as I have polar white....

thanks Wanty for sharing. very impressed of the heat protector over the exhaust, good shot, wasn't aware of this before

JoeMa

You should get a look under the GL or GLS when its up on a lift. MB did an excellent job with heat shielding throughout the length of the exhaust system. The entire undercarriage is very neat and tidy. Those Germans like to do things right!

DSGe

thanks Joe, would definitely take a better look at it ...

DSGe

Hi Wanty , just wonder how your car is doing ? All good ? Anything you could share , like driving experience , fuel consumption etc
Thanks mate

Wanty

It's a great looking car, BUT my customer experience of the product so far has fallen well short, I'm slowly learning that buying a prestige motor vehicle does not mean trouble free motoring . I won't go into the details yet,

It does have some amazing safety features which was one of the main reason for the purchase.

I wish I could say the car is amazing but it's going back to MB again tomorrow for the sixth time for various reasons.

Maybe I'm just unlucky and got a dud, all I know is I spent a hell of a lot of money and problems keep appearing that I have never had in the past with other similar sized cars.

If you don't mind telling us, I'd be interested to know what kind of issues you've been having with it? My diesel has been in and out of service for as long as I've owned it. Want to know what others are going through.

DSGe

Thanks Wanty
Yeah all owners or owner-to-be would definitely be interested in learning what you been going through. We can understand your feeling.
