2011 E350 Bluetec vs 2011 ML350 Bluetec

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this. I have both and it seems almost as if the ML350 SUV Bluetec rides and drives a bit quieter than the E350 Bluetec Sedan. The diesel sounds less noticeable inside the ML350.

Anyone else notice this ?

I have both vehicles as well and never noticed the E being louder than the ML. Once the E warms up for a couple of minutes I really don't hear any diesel-y sounds...

I've Driven both 212 E350 /164 ML350 for many miles with 642's and thought the 212 was not as loud as the 164..
Others didn't even notice E350 was a Diesel..
I did like the MPG difference of the E350 over the ML350..
I just couldn't get a E350 BlueTec monthly payment as good my E350 even with all my "company discounts.."
