just arrived home with my G320CDI

820 miles from Salzburg 65-85 on motorways

some faffing about but not much, average 65mph

22.2 mpg avg

much better if you stay under 70mph

stopped at a french motorway toll by some curious cops - very friendly once I told them the story in my best O level French

pics in a day or so once I've had some sleep!

Yes Hus - he brought it around this morning. One of only a few hundred LHD G320 CDIs produced.

I think Mark took some pics of one when he was in Munich.

Re: It's here!

was it bought new?
and if it's not too rude to ask publicly, what's the selling price (tax free as it was exported i assume)?

thanks

Re: It's here!

well put marcus!

i thought this was a wind up too!!

i might sell my G300 now, i have hope for a rhd G after all.

as for G320 CDI economy i am shocked aswell.

i think a G500 with an lpg conversion is what i want now!!!

Re: It's here!

Actually actually I am supposed to be selling "G"'s not buying as quite unexpectedly we bought a wee farm that needs paying for early May.
The agent looked quite shocked when I replied "planting rush bushs" to his query as to what we were for doing with 35 acres af Class 1 arable land.
Grow my own rapeseed most probably, would seem sensible
and some Hemp ( man :wink: ) for the wifes Arthritits

Hi Mike
This has sparked an interest, are you saying that you have just bought a RHD New G320CDiLWB? If so was it from the Factory in Graz or from AMG who sell the RHD G55AMG? Really interested to know, I am in London - look forward to hearing from you, any pictures? Best Regards Jeffrey

Re: It's here!

OK so the envy form spider1V is great on two counts 1 you have a great 320 Engine and 2. it is RHD! :lol:

As posted who has the other 5 RHD G's and if so are they for sale? :?:

and once can pnly dream of such milage - best I have got so far is 18.6MPG :roll: however the worst ( and I knpw Peter {erfect will beat this) is 8.7 the other day was racing some RR and both driving into the wind!

Looking forward to the pictures!

Re: It's here!

What on earth are you guys all talking about? There is no such thing as a RHD G320?

Who told you this? Where did you see it?
