Re: Autobild: ML320 CDI vs. (fl) X3 3.0sd

I pick the X3 and not because of the look but becuase of the engine. 285hk and 580nm, much more entertaining than the engine in ML. You dont mess with dieselpower

But is this the regular 3 litre turbo diesel or mighty, award wining twin-turbo diesel ?!

If it's the second, then based on the driving dynamics & feeling and performance the Merc. doesn't stand a chance.
