Nice car Phil! I'm glad you got what you wanted. You deserve it.
It's amazing how different our cars are for being only one year apart. Your fuel filter assy has a canned filter...mine is a cartridge style. Your emergency flasher switch is completely different...I have a big red button. Your rear defrost switch is in a different place. Seat belts are different too...I have full shoulder belts anchored on the bottom half in the front and retractable lap belts in the rear. Where is your cigarette lighter?
Yours also probably has the original engine and transmission ;-)
You're definitely encouraging me to post more here...I too have the 220D love affair going full strength. I could almost write a book about it, and it's only been 7 years. Purchased in a sad state then brought back to life. Sold and then re-acquired. Road trips galore. Wedding pictures. Repairs performed that make me wonder how I was even still going down the road. It's absolutely a fantastic car. Nearly indestructible. Quite possibly the most reliable car ever built.
Here's to the next 7 years and beyond.
