My buddy sent me this link. He knew I'd find it amusing. Too bad it can't be registered in CA. It's probably dirt slow, but you can't beat 40mpg!

Could it be registered in another state?
Please forgive my ignorance on licensing laws, but could it be registered in another state?
In my part of WA, for example, we aren't required to undergo smog testing. I don't see why you couldn't register an E 200 unless I'm just oblivious to some law that would prevent it.

Someone that has a blown engine should buy this car and do an engine swap. Then part out the rest of the car to make some of their money back. I'm not sure what the specs are on the 200 engine, but they're probably close to what my E300 puts out. Plus, the 200 gets about 40mpg.

Here's the specs on the three new 4-cylinder CDI engines, all more powerful than the W210 E300: http://www.automobilemag.com/green/r...sel/index.html
Quote: "The diesels, however, are even more impressive. The three four-cylinder units are all the same size: 2.1 liters, and all three are turbocharged (naturally) and use common-rail direct injection. Output of the three engines varies much more in torque than in horsepower. The E200 CDI, with only a single-stage turbocharger, is rated at 266 lb-ft of torque. The E220 CDI upgrades to a dual-stage turbo and musters 295 lb-ft of torque. The E250 CDI pumps out a V-8-like 369 lb-ft. Interestingly, all three diesels achieve the same, 44 mpg combined fuel economy rating, with their standard six-speed manual gearbox."

'01 W210 E320 CDI
Here's the specs on the three new 4-cylinder CDI engines, all more powerful than the W210 E300: http://www.automobilemag.com/green/r...sel/index.html
But you're talking about the fifth-generation of CDI engines. The W210 CDI's are the First generation and cannot be compared. The new 4-cylinder 250CDI puts out more than my old 320CDI. Still my i6 runs smoother and sounds nicer!
Another debate overhere in Europe is if those tiny compact engines, 'pumped up' with large compressors or dual-turbo's and advanced emission-control technology like electronic EGR, oxidation cats, sooth filters, will last as long in the long run...
