New E320 CDI

Just picked it up yesterday after waiting 10 weeks. Everything is working and it drives like a Mercedes should. Have all the toys, xenons, drive dynamic seats, HK, Sirius radio....sunroof, shades, navigation, heated seats, fold down rear seat......and most of all that big Diesel! The CDI is worth this long wait....feels like it could climb mountains! Put 225 miles on already and she is just and amazing ride. Have owned lots a very nice cars and this is my forth Mercedes, this one impresses me by far the most. Color is Platinum Blue and ash interior. The best feature to me is the engine.....the car feels way sportier then it looks.....just a blast to drive. Picture is a little dim, taken when I pulled into my driveway with it first time and after a foot of snow fell the day before.

Congrats on your elegant new ride. We now have c. 3400 miles on ours, and it just gets better and better.

And, yeah it WILL climb mountains!

Congrats with the new CDI. After having this amazing car over 6 months, I can honestly say this is the best car I have driven to date. So far no major issues and the mileage has been outstanding. I'm averaging city 27mpg and highway 36-38mpg. Total mileage is 7000. Better than that is all that torque! I think the only issue I'm having is that I've become neurotic about the car. I have spent more time detailing the car and surfing this web site than I care to mention

Looks great.

Does anyone know if the AMG appearance package is available on the CDI's?
I tried building one on the MBUSA website but I didn't see it as an option.

Thanks

It is not available in the US. I wish it was though, I am buying the AMG E55 wheels for the about the same price from Tire Rack and I feel it is money better spent. However I do love the black wood and silver gauges that come with the appearance package.
