mmm... Not sure about that one gogo, The 2001-2003 ML I think used the older style M113 (The one in the W210 E55's) In 2003 They revised the motor and stuck it the CLK, and whatever else. I ask an AMG mechanic about it once, said the 2003+ onward were much stronger than the older M113's

The transmission gearing might be different as well, so they redo the fuel maps for smooth operation and efficiency between the couple. I also like overdrive's info.

i agree its probably tuning. The e63 has larger headers and more aggressive tune then the c63. Thats why the c63 makes such crazy power with just headers and tune.

Well owing both these cars I must admit that the gearbox and exhaust are not that great on the ml55. The engine sounds good of course but the c55 engine just sounds 100 times better. The gearbox is also in a complete different league

I seem to recall reading somewhere that the C63 is de-tuned by limiting the WOT opening to something short of full open.

See the attached list. Pretty sure the answer is, while the engines are substantially similar, they have been tweaked per individual model and are therefore classified with a different engine number.
Can someone tell me how to make this bigger? Frustrating I can't insert a table from excel into my post.

I know the airbox on the C55 is much freer flowing, dual filters dual cold air "ram-effect" inlets the ML has a single large airbox that pulls in intake air from passenger side wheel well.

I'll tell you this, don't engage an ML 55 in the rain or snow, you'll get eaten alive till about 60!!

Throw a set of Blizzaks on the ML 55 or ML63 and nothing inspires more confidence in the snow!!
