Diesel noise
I purchased CPO 2011 e350 bluetec a few months ago and I noticed that diesel engine sounds at idle is louder than my 2011 gl350 bluetec... ie, at idle, i can hardly notice the engine noise from inside of gl cabin but with e350, it is very easy to notice (i do get a lot of complains from my boss - my wife) 
should I have dealer to look at it or is it just normal?

The E is not quite as well sound insulated as the GL with regards to engine noise. I had an E350 Bluetec prior to my S350 bluetec and really noticed the difference in sound insulation between the two. One thing to check, the engine covers on the diesels tend to loosen over time due to the serious vibrations from the engine. Make sure the cover is not buzzing.
