It is my understanding that there is a new 3.0 liter 4 valve V-6 diesel for 2007. Not 100% sure though.

The 07 ML320 CDI has the same engine as the all the other new diesels for 07', but the change for 2008 will be the addition of the urea (AdBlue) formula which allows the diesels to be compliant in the remaining 5 states in which they aren't sold right now.

But is it different than the 2006 E320CDI engine?

Yes the engine for 2007 is a totally new V6 vs the old I6 in the 06' E320 CDI.

Still I think that current 320 CDi is a very good engine.

ML 320 CDi
Hi,

The current ML 320CDi engine is a V6 (NOT an I6 like E320CDi). So engine in 2008 ML etc. will be same V6 as now but with 'bluetec' system added. So there is NOT another new engine 'coming up'.

MB have only just developed the new V6 diesel so they're hardly likely to have completely revamped it so soon.

Cheers,

Read the article I posted here in the GL thread concerning the new diesel engines. I was confused at first myself.

I have a GL320CDI on order myself.

Auto, do you have an availability date for that GL diesel?

My dealer hasn't called me to tell me that it's orderable, only that my father has ordered his ML diesel for September build and no GL build for 07 has been entered into Netstar.

I followed up with my dealer yesterday and he stated that the GL is not in netstar yet either However, the ML and R are which they are expecting their first shipments of those in late September. Hopefully by mid-July we'll get a better idea of the GL diesel availability.
