GL320 and C350 on order
GL 320 arrives!!
One day short of 5 months the long wait and hard work has paid off. We took delivery of the following;
040 Black
240 Macadamia Leather
731 Burl Walnut Wood Trim
070 Chrome Package
218 Back-up camera
289 Wood/leather streeing Wheel
550 Trailer Hitch
864 Rear Entertainment
889 Keyless Go
P01 Package
R55 Appearance Pkg
319 Lighting Pkg
324 Sunroof PKG
581 3-zone Climate PKG
Items added - Phone Puck, Mats
Final cost to us was $1500 over invoice.
This GL fell into our arms after 2 orders were botched by 2 other dealers. We had to make the decision to take it with only knowing it had the essentials we wanted. In the end it had a little more which now we are happy with.
First 100 miles impression is off the charts. Vance did a good job on fit and finish.
Oh and you may ask my thoughts on the 320 CDI....This engine is simply awesome! Less lag off the start than I've read about and loves to run at highway speed and lets say a little over those speeds also.
We are glad we did not give up trying to get one of these machines. When gas hits $3.00 in a few days/weeks I'm sure we will chuckle a bit.
Thanks to all that keep this forum going. Its one of the best.

I think the Bluetec and CDI engines are the same, it just becomes officially "Bluetec" when the filters are added...

You are correct the engines are the same I think...the exhaust system is the Bluetec element from which it gets it's designation.
See this link to the MB site about the Bluetec and CDI.

Right. Now for 2008 they're going to add the Adblue tank to comply with regs for all 50 states for 2008 and beyond. Beyond the cat on the E320 Bluetech all the engines are the same in the R/ML/GL and E.
