Hi just looking into possible purchase of an E-class estate in the UK and trying to get some knowledge of the model range & engines etc.
I believe around 2000 the E300 becamse the E320 CDi - is there an enormous difference between these diesels?
Is the 270 CDi worthwhile?
I am thinking E320 CDi, auto gearbox, Estate.
Is there a good web site where I can research this stuff more easily?
(Currently driving a BMW 523 Estate)
Thanks for your help!
M-B has a website that's quite good in its detail. You guys in the UK are lucky to be able to buy these strong diesels, we, in the USA, don't get them.

Thanks, that's a nice site but it really deals with the current models only. I probably should have made this clearer - I'm looking at used models, maybe 3-4 years old. Really looking to see the specs of the cars 'at the time'.
Yes, CDI engine much more modern and efficient. Both are excellent cars the 300 is quick but the 320 CDI goes like a rocket.
The 210 chassis 270 CDI wasn't sold in the UK, only the new shape E class comes in a 270 CDI flavour.
Thanks. Any ideas where I might find some information on the model range of circa 2000?

Yes, IMHO it is an excellent compromise between power and running costs.
Or here for UK-specific matters...
