Thanks for your response, Eddie. My car is still bone stock (nothin' wrong with that!), but I"ll probably be changing at least the wheels and tires at first, then suspension. Sounds like you've got "quite the ride" with all the mods you've done.

As you know, it's a great car to begin with, although over in the U.S., diesels aren't popular at all compared to over on your side of the world. (I still can't understand why a car this good isn't more popular here... it's pretty darn fast, AND it gets almost 40 MPG on the highway!) As a matter of fact, my car was one of the last off the boat from Germany in 1999, and may well be the last "new" diesel that we'll see over here. U.S. emissions regulations have effectively eliminated diesels over here, and I just read that Mercedes will not be bringing any more over.
It's too bad because I've heard that the new CDI is an awesome car!

I'll keep you updated as I make the changes to my car, and if I hear of any that may be of interest to you,I'll let you know.
