Might seem an odd thread coming from me, but I am genuinely interested to know what people think of the current top of the range MB diesels, particularly the 350CDi's.
On the face of it, compared to BMWs 300hp'ish '35d and '40d engined cars and Jaguar Land Rovers 280hp'ish 3.0 V6, the 231hp (I think?) MB 350 CDi now appears off the pace.
Has anyone compared the engines in these cars to be able share any thoughts on how the MB compares and is anyone aware of an imminent new diesel engine to allow MB to compete with the BMW / JLR units?
