Lots of quality snibbles with the boys back home in Germany.

Interesting. Maybe that explains why they are apparently having big problems with the 7G-Tronic transmissions across the model line in Europe.
I picked up rumors of problems with this transmission, including one from a pretty good inside source; so I asked another friend in Germany, who has his finger pretty well on the pulse of MB happening. Here is his resppnse:

yes, true. Heard from that.
The G320CDI are all blocked for customers, because Bosch did not work
properly with the ESP and transmission Shifting. They work on that.
But what confuses me more, a very large MB Importer from a speed limited
Country told me last week, they have lots of problems with the 7G-Tronic.
Well, when I drove it, it worked but you should be aware of one fact. You
have engineers on one side and Cost Controllers on the other side. And the
Cost Controllers have more power. I think, in today's time, more cheap
bull**** is produced than most people will know. AMG refused to adapt the
7G-Tronic in their cars.

Since that transmission is made in Germany, it sounds like I need to wait a bit on my possible purchase of the ML320 CDI to give them time to sort the problems out.
