Well, it should be a rocket, but...

...if you look at road test results, you see 0-60 mph in 6.7 sec. The E320 CDI does 0-60 in 6.9 sec. The 4 liter is a 256 hp/413 lf-ft V-8 while the 3.2 L is a 201 hp/369 lb-ft I-6.

Frankly, the E400 should be much quicker with that extra 0.8 liters of displacement...and you will pay for the added displacement with worse fuel consumption.

I think you should be looking for an E320 CDI.
