E350 AMG CDI wagon

Well my new car only has 230 bhp or 250 bhp, depending on which bit of paper I read.

It certainly shifts for a two ton tessie.

It certainly did NOT take me 5 minutes to start, get in gear and release parking brake though.

The 350d is the equivalent of the bmw *30d...

That seems unfair on the Merc, the 530d is the third worst car ever in the whole world. Mark said so.

[Jobbo]

Remind me what you said about your 530d when you replaced it with a 7-series, SJ?

[Sundayjumper]

Something about not doing anything wrong but not being memorable ? Quite different to Mark’s review.

Ask Mark about the time he bought a 7

Isn’t the 300d a 4 cylinder and the 350d’s were 6 cylinders??

300d switched from 6 to 4 cylinders about 2012 (hybrid ?), 350d stayed as a 6

Well bugger me this car is complicated! I managed to pair my phone but it's not intuitive (compared to anything I've owned anyway) but it won't play music from my phone so having just swapped PCs I am left with no easily accessible music to dump on a memory card or similar to try and load onto the onboard HD.

I am rubbish at tech but out of 46 cars I am not sure I have ever spent as much time actually RTFM

Every days a school day - I thought the 300d engine was newer than that and ‘replaced’ the 250 in the c class, e class, GLC etc
