2007 E320 CDI Bluetec
![Smile](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon7.gif)
Hello To All ..am brand new to MBWorld, so I'll do this message in Diesel section too. Just bought 2007 Bluetec, with 54,000 miles. Car is impeccible. I have read all MBWorld chats on in-line 6 vs V-6 diesel and all that. Lots of stubborn oil heads and their opinions.
BUT, now that I have "gone and done it" .... and popped for the V-6 diesel ... does anyone have direct experience owning and operating a Bluetec? This is second car for me, intend to drive like 5,000 - 7,500 miles per yr, and keep it till I get REALLY old...I am now 67, and just became semi-retired.
Hoping to have long postive experience with Bluetec ... any advice on
how the ceramic soot filter holds up?
the VNT turbo ?
Engine, itself?
Catalytic converters and SCR's.
Advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance

Welcome. When I bought my 06 in 2010 I drove both a 2007 and the 2006 I bought. I liked both, and the only reason I took the 06 was the lower mileage and more options. I did find the 07 slightly quieter and smoother. You will find a great amount of information here.
