FWIW, I'd like to get a CDI.... but when they're less than $20k. So I'll be waiting a little while!! I think the newer cars get a bad reputation just because of the electronics, but I think most manufacturers are pretty reliable about those now. Personally, I like the reliability and consistency of digital control for things like transmissions. I really hate fine tuning the ones on our cars now. The only thing I don't like about the newer cars is the emissions... The only way I'd want the Bluetec version is if I could chip it and get rid of all/most of the emissions. Obviously the car wouldn't be in warranty by the time I could afford it ;) My $.02 John _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
