John,
you actually have two batteries and the one on my 05 CDI which
services the accessories went out at 50K and 4 years, still under
warranty.
I too, love my 05 E320 CDI and have never had a better car. Just had
to replace the glow plugs last month and that is it.

I do think the CDI looks like a very nice car. I wish I could find a used one
with enough miles to make it reasonably priced. I was a little concerned

If you get a 2005 or 2006 you don't have that system. :) It is only the

That word quality has too many definitions to be meaningful. So I don't
blame MBZ for not talking about it.
To some people, quality describes how many defects a new example includes.
To other people (most of us) it describes how durable a particular model is.

I don't get that. Plastic ratchet pawls and/or sectors in a highly stressed and

I was in the area, so stopped off at one of my local dealers today, for a
