I am very close to buying an R diesel. Anyone have any cold weather experience this season with the new MB Diesels? What are you getting for mileage? I am considering the air suspension to help get over any deep snow--anyone have any thoughts or experience on this option (I suspect it is not a common option). I understand it raises the body 3" at low sppeds only.

I have an 06 e32cdi and have experienced no starting issues so far. As to the air suspension sounds like a nice option as long as it does become the nightmare Lincoln owners expeienced as their cars aged. I have friends with Lincolns that have actually traded their car off because of expensive and frequent suspension repairs issues
