My CDI is almost here! ...

The boat carrying my E320 CDI docked on April 11th so I am pretty sure it will be at the dealer's next week if everything goes okay . I can't wait to drive it!

Yes, congratulations! I'm sure you'll find that it was worth the wait. Our experience so far: Best tank: 36.2 mpg; Worst tank: 29.5 mpg: Average for the 4800 miles we've driven in the US: 31.6 mpg. Problems: NONE!

Tell us about what you're getting.

What I am getting....

Everest green, charcoal leather interior, Sirius satellite, lighting package, premium package, and heated front seats . I sure hope mine will be trouble free. Your diesel mileage figures sound pretty darned good. I drive 90 miles a day to and from work so I am really looking forward to more car and better mileage - and not stopping at the gas station every 3 days. Now I just have to fight the husband for the keys in the morning. Maybe it will be like that commercial – we both get up earlier and earlier in order to beat each other to the car. I don’t think he would risk that though – because it would leave me with his 3500 dodge dually diesel and I am pretty sure he wouldn’t want me chasing his *** with that :p I think in the truck I would have him beat in the torque arena – especially since he has a chip. I actually like driving that monstrous truck – it is pretty amusing to physically look down to see a Hummer and that thing has enormous get up and go with all the torque. It is incredibly nimble – it is what sold me on a diesel to begin with. In about two years he wants to get a Viper - now that will be some fun!
