Wow, I wish my wife would let me go shopping for my 240D like that!!!!

I know what you mean about the speed - I had a Nissan V6 that was fast for a 1991 pickup, but sloooow compared to most everything on the road now!

I have never had a complaint about the speed of my 240D.

Good luck and have a safe and speedy return home!!!

Looking forward to pictures and DIY pictorial write ups.
