e500L CDI
Anyone ever seen this car or heard of it?? I was at home depot 2 days ago and pulled up next to a e class and i saw looked like aftermarket exhaust so i went to take a look and it said E500 with a little L below the 500 and then on the other side CDI with Mercedes-Benz powered emblem above it. I thought they only made the E320 CDI. It had florida plates as well.

Hrmm the 'aftermarket exhaust' leads me to believe that the owner just went on a badge frenzy. 
Only V8 Diesel I've heard of is only available in europe - E400 CDI. - Correct me if I'm wrong.
