Did It!
Thought I might tell everyone here on this board I finally purchased my E320 CDI. One word to sum it up...LOVE
Specs:
05 E320 CDI, Black w/ charcoal leather, premium pkg, and tire pressure.
After driving "premium" japanese imports for several years, I can honestly say this car surpasses all my expectations. Nothing like a MB! I even asked my wife if I could sleep in it tonight
Best Regards and thanks to this board for all of your help and insight,
Jay

Thanks all! The power of the diesel is outstanding. No...Neck snapping fast. At this rate I will have to visit a Chiropractor
The engine is smooth and I the diesel engine noise is barely detectable, however it is a nice sound that I don't mind. The premium pkg was worth the dollars. Looking forward to many years of happy motoring.

I don't know if it has more tq than the E500 but I'm sure it's pretty close. I haven't found any turbo lag that concerned some. I believe it has to do with the gearing. I could be wrong.

Are we really going to see an E400 diesel (v8 TT) ? That would be sweet, with gas prices. Perfect compromise.

Love? Love sounds a little strong. Its a car after all!

Maybe you need a girlfriend in addition to the wife. I'll have to ask my wife if she thinks that is a good idea. Adding a girlfriend...
