Hi, All. Had one. Loved it. Check for rust under rear seat esp. passenger side. Frame rot you don't want or need. other wise a 55mph ~ 50 mpg cruiser. I drove mine at 70+ and did for two engines, gave it to a friend who cooked the engine on the way to Florida. Said that he could not understand why it would barely do 80 all the time!

First one I have seen with that designation. A bit before that I was behind an E320 ----> CDI. I don't know if this badging aspect of Bluetec was covered in the recent discussion or not. I was also behind and in front of a blue Checker Marathon that provided massages to Goddesses and Womyn, and it had the bright lights on the whole time and no apparent working turn indicator lights. The driver definitely did not appear to be the former, and I am also somewhat unsure about the latter aspect. --R
