05 E320 CDI Mercedes

[Justin at Final Inspection]

Had a somewhat unique Mercedes in the shop the other day. This 05 E320 is a CDI diesel model. The owners use it as there daily driver in the summer months. Overall its in nice shape but it really had never been properly detailed. The paint wasn't too bad being silver but it was one of the models with the factory rock hard ceramic clear. To keep in the clients budget a heavy one step correction was decided on. Now if this wasn't silver a 2 step would have been in order but with the lighter silver paint the heavy one step worked out great.

Great work!

Is the cdi an unusual engine option in the US in a MB? Or is it that's in a bigger E-class?

Here in Sweden it's more common with a diesel engine than a gas engine when it's a MB DD. Fun to see the difference between countries and what's common in one and not common in another.

From what he told me it was only offered 2-3 years in the E class.
