It also has better performances (in Europe, this V6 CDI has the same performances as the BMW's 5 series 3 lt twin-turbo diesel with 272 hp altough the MB only has 224 hp) and is even more quiet.
Besides that, the E-class with V6 CDI has established a speed and durability record in a track in the USA because 3 E-class 320 CDI have made 100 000 miles at a speed of 225,9 Km/h without any malfunction. The FIA gave a price to Mercedes because of that. Looks like that the days of the problems are gone again for Mercedes

It worked. The clattering died down quite a bit. Not exactly bio-diesel! The car was sold in good condition when it was 20 + years. Any comments?
