2003 Ml55?

Just wondering if anyone knew what the deal is with the 2003 ML's and if the AMG ML55 has been discontinued. Since we rarely deal with them at all at the VPC, no one seems to know whats going on. MBUSA.com took it off their website and it isn't in the vehicle brochure. The only person I know that would have that info is doing business in Germany right now. Hope they don't since I was looking into getting one soon. Any insight appreciated!

Re: 2003 Ml55?

The ML55 doesn't show up at all in Netstars vehicle order system, only the ML320 and ML500, so I'm inclined to think it will not be made available for MY03. I'll check with M-B and post what I hear. ...RAB

This same topic is on a thread at mbnz.org. Over there they said that it is because they have not released the specs for the ML55 yet, as it will reportedly get the supercharger (as in SL55K, E55K, etc.).

Not sure about this, but hope it helps.

Update

The new news is that it will likely not have the kompressor, just a normal power boost from the new design of the engine.

Thanks for the responses. It would be wild if they do offer it with the new kompressor, but then again, a Kleemann supercharger kit does advertise more power.
