As I wafted past a clean silver estate E320 CDI today, then came alongside it at the junction, then wafted down the road when the lights changed (nice day so all windows down) I was struck by how much noisier and more "diesel-ey****" the much newer E320 sounded, and mine is 20 years old with 20 years of wear and tear.
It really was a significant difference, and it minded me of other engines over the years, air cooled bikes to water cooled cars, that went from iron heads to alloy heads and got a lot noisier as a result.
Just me? Just a good W124 vs a bad W211? Or representative?
**** the diesel injection / ignition "knock"
