Hi everyone,

New guy whaiting to take delivery on a 320CDI sometimes in Nov-Dec. Any CDI owners on this forum?

I don't recall anyone that lucky yet.
Congratulations, you are getting a great car.

There were a few posts a couple months ago by someone who had just taken delivery of a 320cdi. You could probably dig up these posts by a little searching. I don't believe he has posted anything since, so I suppose the car is doing OK. The only negatives on the cdi I have heard so far is that a few fuel filters have come apart and garfed up the fuel system.

Some of the specs are:
27/37 mpg. 0-60 in 6.6s(wishful thinking) Base invoice supposed to be around 46 thou. As I said, I am new to diesel.I was wondering in anyone has done a powerchip upgrade on one of this babies? 201hp 369lb torque. Powerchip claims that their upgrade will bring the car to 227 hp and 417 lb torque. I was wondering about transmision problems. Any diesel tecs have any thoughts about e211 5speed tranies handeling capabilities?
many thanks on your input

E320 CDI
3.2L 24-valve Inline 6 engine
201 hp @ 4,200 rpm
369 lb-ft @ 1,800 - 2,600 rpm
0-60 mph in 6.6 seconds this is fact, incredible but true.

MSRP: $49,795.00
or with all possible extras
$76,945.50

Powerchip is correct, what they do NOT mention is that the integrated communication system will inform MB that a chip has been installed.
You will be informed that your warranty is void.
Enjoy your chip......

Welcome to the Forum. Some VERY knowlegeable guys ( and gals) around here.
To avoid warranty problems, AND make that new CDI feel even faster.... spend some time in a 240D, or 220D and practice merging onto interstate highways with an uphill acceleration lane that is too short. After a few of these exercises, return to your new CDI and be amazed at the performance.
Again, welcome to the site, and since most people post only about problems, I hope we don't hear too much from you.

Greetings and welcome to the forum...be advised, most of the folks in this section of the forum are driving 20+ year old cars in the $2k ~ $5k price range. A new CDI is, well, pretty unusual here.

You probably have better financing on your car than I did on my first house which cost $31,950 and had a 13.7% mortgage

GREAT answer. A moped would feel powerful after your test.

Thanks guys,
I noticed that most of you drive older models,however I think that there is much "diesel wisdom" to be had from all of you especialy for a newbe like myself. I do appreciate your input and I promise to allways be nice and humble when I encounter on older oil burner out there.
