2005 Mercedes Benz E320 CDI Turbo Diesel Review and Test Drive by Bill - Auto Europa Naples

[@TheKnowlege33]

Seen one of these today with 380,000 miles and it's still running perfectly.. What a car

[@egold2071]

To get any Benz to 380,000 miles, it usually costs about $380,000 in lifetime maintenance costs! 🤑

[@sookoll23]

@@egold2071 Except with a W211 inline diesel engine (not the V6), they're damn reliable and easy to work on. So easy to work on, you'd be stupid to go to a dealer. I did my water pump in an hour in my driveway.

I had one with over 270,000 miles and still running strong before I was hit, it actually still ran beautifully after being totaled.

This is a 2005 Mercedes E320 CDI add a CDI means common rail direct injection and they put a diesel 6 cylinder engine not the V6 engine it's a pretty cool car the diesel beast the diesel powered e-class you know and obviously CDI means common rail direct injection like having a new 2005 CDI 2005 E320 CDI so anyway let's get started with the car and has parking sensors on the car called parktronic thank you parktronic pop the hood of this car to see what engine does this guy have so here she is let's see what she's got under the hood so Mercedes-Benz went to a diesel V6 engine to a diesel 6 cylinder under the hood is the 3.2 l turbo diesel inline 6 which is called the om648 and this engine is better than a V6 or a V8 which is better from the 2005 model year to 2006 and when you started these warning lights pop up you know that stupid version of OnStar in this car it has tell aid at 8:35 definitely sounded like did the OM 648 turbo diesel inline 6 cylinder that it sounds like

The W211 with the inline6 diesel is probably one of the best cars MB ever built. I have this car and guess what..... I'm never gonna sell it. Unfortunately, E Classes built after the W211 have been built and to the specification of accountants' rather than engineers. Love your posts.

It's something about Mercedes and the doors closing so perfectly. I have a W211 E200 Kompressor and a Renault Laguna, and closing the doors on a Renault feels like slamming a glass plate into a wall.

[@jesuschrist2287]

Mercedes doors are heavier and has more materials that's why it closes just perfect, had e270cdi 2005 and now have e46 328i. The e46 doors is very cheap made and very light thats why it closes like it's gonna fall apart

I have the very same car, same year, same colour, same engine, 700k miles on mine, no issues. SBC had to be swapped because that isn't covered under warranty in the uk like it is in the USA. Mine also has an official Brabus D6 tuning kit which is joke funny when you put your foot down. Brilliant cars, brilliant engine and as Bill says, inline 6 is the way on Mercs. This one has a great spec, HK audio, both electric seats and the sliding cupholder. Mine has the same but no sliding cupholder and mine has the sports suspension which is harsh at times.

Correct me if I'm wrong but that is a 5 cylinder, basically they called it the 320cdi for marketing reasons in the states before the V6 real 320CDI arrived a few years later. In Europe it was called the 270CDI

[@netharell]

The pre 2006 320cdi featured an inline 6 diesel engine, being upgraded to a v6 diesel engine afterwards. The 270cdi is a different model featuring an inline 5 cylinder diesel engine which got discontinued after 2005 due to emissions.

The intro section of this video should be mentioning at the end of each sentence "AT LEAST IN THE US" - this model is not some "returnal" of Mercedes to diesel passenger cars, nor has it anything to do with a boat engine, nor did it come out in 2006 - Mercedes has been selling E, C and most other classes (even S) with diesel engines for decades, and this model (the W211) came out in 2003, in 2006 it had a face (or engine)-lift where specifically the 320 guise transitioned from I6 to V6... I've watched three minutes of the video, the guy talks like he was a pro, but has very assuredly said at least 3 factual bullshits - or if not BS, than at least wrong for everywhere else, MAYBE except US (I've no knowledge about Merc model availabilities and yearly ranges in US) - as all carmakers, Merc DESIGNS cars primarily for their own market, in this case - Germany and by extension EU.

[@thatpilotguy4995]

you don't have any idea about mechanics I'm assuming? Just do yourself a favor and don't start trying to talk about the engineering or mechanical properties of that engine until you've studied up. Its sounds really dumb you trying to talk about something you don't know. The reason it doesn't smoke and make a bunch of noise is because the first, it has a conservative fuel map in the tuning. Diesel engines smoke because you rich up the fuel mixture so much that it cannot burn all the fuel being provided. Secondly, the quietness comes from good lubrication, perhaps a thicker valve cover to block some of the valve/injector noise and lastly a well designed exhaust system. Now that you've been educated a little bit, next time just stick to explaining what you do know, and research what you don't.
