Merging W166 (ML/GLE) and X166 AMG Forums?
I am not 100% sure if this has been discussed before or not, but performing a forum search lead me to 0 results.
Do any other members of the forum believe that merging the ML/GLE/GL 63 forums to one would be beneficial for the group? The vehicles are built in the same location and share many similarities. It came to mind when scrolling through the forum lists and I saw that the W166 ML 63, X166 GL63, and GLE SUV/COUPE 63 forums each had 3 members viewing. If we had all 9 members viewing one group it would create more visibility for issues, modifications, concerns, etc.
I am guessing it is up to the admins to merge but for instance the W220 and W221 AMG forum is merged together which I think have less in common than the ML,GL, and GLE.
Thoughts?

Glad you agree! It would be great to get some input from the admins of the forums to understand if/when we can make this merger. It will definitely help with the visibility.
I did post this in all three 166 AMG groups - so I apologize for the duplicate posts. I was trying to reach as many forum members as possible.

100% - there seems to be more W166 modders than X166 modders.
The parts and engine bay are almost all the same - there are some slight differences, but most parts are interchangeable.

Hello members. I am trying to gain more visibility in my push to try and get the W166/X166 (ML/GLE/GL) forums merged into one group. My thoughts are that the ML/GLE are essentially the same vehicle just with a changed name plate, in regards to the W166. And the GL/GLS is also the same in regards to the X166 chassis code. I believe merging these forums together will increase visibility of issues, conversations, and actions in our respective forums. It will also help old and new members in their search for answers and opinions.
The thread that I started is in the Group suggestions sections of the forum.

If you could please comment your thoughts here so that the admins will be able to see that there are many group members that support this; it will greatly help.
Thanks!
