SL500 E320 ML350
All I can tell you is that I traded a '03 ML320 in for a new '05 ML350 and the difference in performance is substantial! I love the 350 engine! 3000 miles with no problems. I drove my service managers ML500 for a day (loaner) and while it had more power it was not all that much more than the 350 IMO.

The E350 has a brand new 3.5 liter, four valve rail injected V6. Mercedes have gone to a lot of trouble to make the new CGI engine sound better than the course sounding M112 engines in the E320 and ML350.
Old technology vs. new technology.
