.....
I think that the COMAND system is also optional on the CLS320.....so best to check.

It seems that everything is an option on all all Mercs ...... I miss my memory seats 

Including the dipstick.

.......and although the seats were electric there was no memory function as standard on mine.

Under the bonnet or behind the wheel?     

Mine does have both

I just command her to tell me where we're going!

A 3.2 should be doing considerably more than that on a long run.

Never had anymore then 26 mpg when I ran mine on petrol 
Makes me wonder about it tbh
Best i've ever seen on a lpg run is 24

Does it have a fire extinguisher?

3.2 LPG Auto Estate, 14 to 18 mpg in and out of London, best Ive done is a very boring journey to Leeds and back driving like Miss Daisy, managed to hit 31 mpg, but soon went down when I got bored with it all.

My 3.2 Manual Estate will do 25 mpg all day long around London and up to 35 mpg on a run with petrol in it, working out the £ for £ for each one and LPG and Petrol starts to get to a 'not much in it' syndrome.

Still tempted to convert the 3.2 Manual to LPG and try a 3.45 Diff in there.

Likewise

The 350 requires adblue, which the four pots don't... worth bearing in mind if you do alot of urban work...

Long run, modest speed, with a feather like right foot, I really struggle to get 31mpg 

[05omegav6]

Should add that most E classes now are diesel, so if you're looking to lpg a petrol one, then your choice is limited most petrol ones being the E63

Best be saving those pennies...

Memory seats are about all that is missing, but as I'm the only driver, it's really not a deal breaker

It certainly cuts the mustard, and is far more comfortable and capacious than any Insignia could ever dream to be.
As for the Omega, that is still a very capable car, and difficult to beat for most peoples needs. The differences compared to the E class are simply generational... the design is 2009 rather than 1993 after all

Wot 'e said ^^^^

Filtered piss (literally) which helps with emissions

Most trucks/vans use it... sold by every petrol station, but is a service item on the 350cdi, which suggests a level of inaccessibility

Always learning something, thanks

Its a wanky additive squirted into the exhaust of some diesels to meet emission requirements.

The better engines out there dont need it and it works with the catalyist to reduce NOx levels.

Urea and water are the main ingredients (hence beer piss would do the same thing).

A real pain in the arse in reality......ask a haulier what they think lol
