FYI, Diesel engines do not compress the fuel, only the air. Gasoline engines compress a fuel/air mixture.

Well, that's what I meant anyway. Sorry, I guess I got the two ICE's reversed.

I'd rather have a simple manual transmission 240D than a twin turbo VNT S400 CDI electronicly fuel injected common-rail "diesel". Oh yes, and the new 400 is all aluminum, too.

Might as well own an S430 as there is less to go wrong with it.
