#436 of 570 The moment of the true by cctdi Aug 28, 2006 (5:17 pm)
Replying to: vl39 (Aug 27, 2006 11:34 am) The catalogs which sent to the dealers by MBUSA just got to the dealership today; the long expecting diesel engine data are not as good as I would expect, for the E320 Bluetec, the engine has aluminum cylinder block with cast-iron cylinder sleeves, it gives 208 hp 3800 rpm and 388lb-ft 1600-2400 rpm, with curb weight of 3860 lb, 0-60 at 6.6(same as the inline six), for ML 320 CDI, the engine has the cast-iron cylinder block, aluminum crank case with cast-in grey iron liners, aluminum-alloy heads, the hp is 215 not 221 3800rpm and 398 lb-ft 1400-2800rpm, with curb weight of 4817 lb, 0-60 at 8 seconds, both of engines require the ULSD fuel which is allowable with 5% biodiesel.

Replying to: oldtar (Aug 28, 2006 4:55 pm) According to the 07 E-Class catalog the sport Package is not available for E320(should be E300) Bluetec and E63AMG.

I'm not sure why this is coming up now, it has been common knowledge that the Bluetecs won't be sold in those 5 five states until the EPA approves Adblue (urea) injection.   M

Replying to: dc661 (Aug 29, 2006 1:22 pm) With a specialized set of filters and catalytic converters the Bluetec is not tec enough to be blue; on the other hand, the ML320 CDI with no such things mentioned in the MBUSA new catalog has a different set up of the identical engine which puts out more hp and ft(215, 398)looks more attractive! I wish would be the otherway around.
#441 of 570 How much did your MB Extended Warranty cost? by nimhrod Sep 12, 2006 (9:40 am)
How much did your MB Extended Warranty cost?Am at 40,000 miles and am going to buy the MB extended warranty. But I've heard the cost varies widely from dealer to dealer. Can anyone share with me what yuo paid and when it was purchased? WOuld your dealer allow me to buy it from them? Or is there a truly reputable and cost effective alternative?   Thanks!

Replying to: andmoon (May 25, 2006 5:24 am) What if you are a CA resident who buys, registers and drives the vehicle in another state for a year, then wants to transfer registration to CA? Thanks. Replies to this message: elias (Sep 13, 2006 5:59 pm)
#443 of 570 Change to 17" wheels? by greasykid1 Sep 13, 2006 (11:21 am)
Has anybody done this? Replies to this message: elias (Sep 13, 2006 6:14 pm)
#444 of 570 Re: cali diesels [benzodiesel] by elias Sep 13, 2006 (5:59 pm)
Replying to: benzodiesel (Sep 12, 2006 5:00 pm) benzodiesel, yes, i understand that is a workable technique. you can transfer the reg to cali after the car has 7500 miles. you will need to use a valid address in the non-cali state. and be sure to let your insurance company know where the car is *really* garaged/parked most nights, wink wink nudge nudge say no more.

Replying to: greasykid1 (Sep 13, 2006 11:21 am) greezykid1, i haven't done it but i understand that the AMG wheels for the same chassis are 17s. i think there is a guy on tdiclub who has done it, not sure if he used AMG wheels or got some properly sized/offset/lug-pattern aftermarket wheels. fwiw, there might be an mpg cost to swapping 16s for 17s, especially since "kids nowadays" like to go for wider and/or softer tires too. check the AMG17" tire size available on the most recent E55 - sticking with that size should ensure that the tires don't scrape the wheel-wells when you are doing opposite-lock countersteering after disabling the stability control. (actually i think in this car it is not possible to entirely disable the stability control, so forget about those drifting contests and opposite-lock countersteering, ok!?) also it wouldn't be a bad idea to verify your plan with your local Benz-certified Hans & Franz mechanics or service reps before shelling out $.
