Better put-- "Bluetec" as a badge was introduced in 2009. The 2007s and 2008s were all badge CDI both 211s and 164s, and the sprinters for that matter, all with OM642 V-6s and a DPF, but get this, in 2009 the 164s were DPF w/SCR, however, the W211 was badge "Bluetec" with DPF, but no SCR! Take that a step further, my S350 isn't badged Bluetec at all, only 4-matic on the boot, and blue efficiency on the front fender.
I don't entirely understand all I know about that process, but in kind of fits with the dicked up mess that has ensued since the engine displacement was no longer represented by the number on the boot. E300 used to be a 3.0L in the good ol days, today its just a penis sizing tool to confuse even the most nitnoid of us!
