Hi folks...I'm new to the forum. I plan on ordering a new ML350 in a couple of months when my lexus lease is up. This will be my 1st MB. I am on the fence as to weather to go with the BluTec or Gas model. Diesel is readily available here about the same price as premium. Any pro's and cons from you real world owners?

Where I live diesel and premium run about 4.20-4.40 a gallon and 1500 price diff ends up probably around 600 when you factor in discounts and the lease residual. I am leaning to the diesel it will be 2 firsts for me an MB and a diesel?

Thanks for the reply yes I will lease for 36 months I like a new vehicle every 3 yrs. From what I have been reading in the reviews I am getting the impression the diesel feels much more powerful. Of course I need to test drive both.
