Hello all,
Just picked up our '08 GL320 CDI from Loeber Motors in Lincolnwood, IL. Very happy with the transaction. The woman traded in her 2006 Audi S4 for it, and we are very happy so far. The S4 was a great car but not the right fit in our current lineup, so we decided to make the change. Never owned a diesel before but have driven many, many diesels in the time I spent in Europe. I will be doing a Kleemann ECU and am considering summer wheel options, although it's a bit late in the season now to do a wheel swap, so that may wait until next summer.
I am very active in the AMG SL/E-class forums, so hopefully I can contribute a little here and there to this one as well.
Regards,
Marcus

Glad to have you aboard the GL forum Marcus. You've got a great last name, especially in light of your current residential address.
I grew up in Illinois and lived in Bartlett for 7 years back in the 90's. By the looks of that cool picture in your signature, it appears you were cruising on the Tri-State Tollway when it was taken. I've got to tell you, I miss Chicago, but I don't miss those traffic nightmares.
I look forward to your contributions to the GL forum. I think you'll find a great group of folks here that are knowledgeable and keep things light-hearted. You'll also be glad to know that there is a Canadian contingent here that we have recently learned are much like us Americans...

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.
The SL picture is northbound on the Tristate aka 294. Chicago has changed tremendously over the past 10 years - as corrupt as the Daley administration may be, the city has blossomed and is without question one of the most beautiful in the world. Chicago recently passed London and Paris to become the city with the 4th highest GDP in the world, behind Tokyo, LA, and NYC.
There's a great video about it at http://www.chicagospire.com
Back to the topic at hand - GL is just a champ. Someone from Europe recently posted that there's an A/V connector underneath the spare tire - gonna try finding it tonight to see if I can hook up a spare car DVD player I have sitting around.
