N20 will start production from 9/2011 onwards, so probably if u order now u'll get N20. Another thing is I think there may be a chance for 528 & 535 (w/start stop) to have EFV tax deduction.
Why would you chose the N52 over N53? I'm dying to know, as I have the N52 and want to know badly what the difference with the N53 is..
Yeah, heck every car except the V8s and above will be an eco-car soon!.. How can the CLS350 'Blueficiency' get it when all it has is DI and StartStop, but not a single turbo in sight?

Can it ever get to 7000rpm? I would like to see what that feels like..
