An older post with a lot of option info..

http://www.benzblogger.com/2012/04/2...-packages.html

SO options noted towards the end...may be updated as noted above...

Here in the USA, I took a GL350BTC off the lot so some sacrifices were made compared to my ideal vehicle.

It seems in Canada, you can get a diesel that looks like a US 550 (Sports Package CAD$2,900). You can also get Burl Wood with MB-Tex. Can these be special ordered for the USA?

Excellent, thank you. Two items stand out I've never seen mentioned before and have no idea what they entail:

Accessory Chrome package
Interior Sport Package

Frack, complexity without intent to be so

Had to be GL's... each model has a different configure scree, so I have attached screen capture of each of the four.. a bit too hectic at the moment to slice/dice/convert to more readable jpg cutup's..

Yes - wierd stuff,... crhome access show as a "pacakage" .,.. then parktronic shows as a options... but overall straightfoward if you can read the quick screen capture jpgs...

To the latest request for special order #'s - start spitting out order/option codes with your local dealer, and frankly you will sound exactly like a exporter and you can easily frack up your deal.. putz...

Unfortunately those jpgs are too small to read the fine print, even blown up. The PDF you had before was readable if you ever have time to redo these.

Really appreciate your contributions.

Yes - AP is gorgeous, and a elegant wood. It's makes Eucalyptus look leopardy and repetitive in comparison.

Kindof sad isn't it - there is no good net photo of this new wood - let me see if I can find something Mon.

In today's digital age - unfortunate web photo limitations on new ML/GL so far: photos of Auburn Leather always look puke-y, very few that don't look horrible; newer metallic like Dakota Brown or Cinnabar don't give accurate impression at all: wood photos suck, satin somewhat OK, burl is OK if you have already seen burl - but on new woods you haven't seen it really sucks..

Auburn leather.... I agree! I was already to order that color but when I saw the pics posted here......I really was afraid I was not going to like that once I got it!
