It was just stretching its legs at 120mph.....we took it to around 150 before it ran out of steam.

Believe me, you would not want to be driving a 220d there.....especially on the autobahn.
Ok, yeah they probably don't have the crap beaten out of them but still, I'd like the 220 just because it's mine, you know?

I can see your point of a hella slow diesel on the autobahn LOL but it would be sooo cool in my opinion! I just would love flashing my Cali plates over there, or maybe my Texas ones!

Worst case scenario I would take the 300E which is faster and still would be just as cool and a tad more comfortable..
