6. Common rail Diesel Injection (CDI). These engines are bullet proof. Millions of German and other taxi drivers can't be wrong.

7. Try upgrading to a modern 5th gen turbo. Much better low down torque and over 300hp is possible.

9. I have similiar car in Finland. OM648 <3… We have many of these for sale with over 500.000km (310.000miles) driven with original engine without any problems. Ofc there are faults injectors,alternators etc. but these are one of the worlds most reliable diesel engines ever made!

10. In Europe we have a different option for the 06/07/08/09 we have two further engine choices e280 V6 om642 with 190 hp and 320 cdi v6 224 hp.
    The e280 cdi was also offered with a six speed stick shift manual gearbox.
    P.S. Why most us w211 don't have the parktronic(parking sensors)?
    I mean it wasn't such an expensive option in the first place.

12. I have the same engine , with a bit different name , om613 in w210 (Europe)
    Amazing engine , the speed and the fuel economy is not much behind from any 5-10-20 years newer six cilynders engines , but reliability is 3x better.
    I am using it as a daily because of its simple luxurious ride and "cheap" maintenance.
    It is not completely trouble free but it is worth paying , and thats what i cant say about newer mercedes.

13. All of you saying the om617/602/603/606 engines are superior, I ask you why, other than nostalgia? is it reliability? because the i6 OM648 is every bit as reliable as the previous generations, and doesn't suffer from head gasket issues or early 90's electronics issues as the older IDI engines did. its also more fuel efficient and much more powerful.

    i assure you my handle doesn't come from lack of experience.

    Ive owned an 83 om617(T) 300SD, 86 om602(NA) 190D, 91 om602(T) 300D, 99 0m606(T) E300D. i did all my own maintenance on all of them.

    I Own a 2005 E320 CDI, I've daily driven the car for the last 3 years and done ALL of my own maintenance.

    With the proper tools and the balls to work on the car yourself rather than taking it to the dealership, it is better in nearly every possible way than the previous generation Mercedes Benz diesels.
    And that's in no way knocking the older diesels. They all had their place in history and most were innovative technological marvels in their time as well. But when it comes to value, reliability, longevity, ride quality, safety, features, styling, rust prevention, paint quality, it's REALLY hard to beat an om648 E320 CDI.

    Now, Cue the naysayers that have never owned or driven a CDI. XD
