Smile It's Here!

Hi,

After months of waiting, I got the first look at my new ML320CDI Sport today:




I like the color (sorry about the sh***y phone camera pics) - and AFAIK it's one of the first in Europe - the first in Luxyland anyhow.

Now I'll have to speed up the paperwork

Cheers,
Birger

Hi,

No, alf - it's Alpine Rain (or Lasurite Blue).

Thanks, all!

Birger

PS: There are some drawbacks to the modern diesel and particle filter technology, like oil changes that have to be made twice as often as before, and with hideously expensive (I'm talking some 28-20 euros per litre, and the OM242 engine takes 9.5 litres) oil. But I'm still a fan of that engine....

Looks great! What color is that? Alpine Rain? Really nice color! With the gas prices being what they are, I have been curious as to when the CDI will arrive here in the States as well.

Elle est superbe Birger.

Je comprends tout à fait ton excitation.

Nous recevons la notre fin du mois, juste pour mon retour. L'attente devient difficile.
