Paid for already?? I would think so for a 10 yr old ML thats worth only 5 or 6K !! I see you have a late model S class or is that your dads?? Your thinking is bizzare and shows very bad monetary habits. If you plan on keeping that ML for a long time then save the money for required maint, not junk mods.A 10 yr old vehicle modded or not does not impress anyone.

Modifying your car is the European way!
I say go for it. Regardless of how much a car is worth, some of us want to make our vehicle our very own and not have 3 others just like it on the same block.
It sounds like you're already on your way into improving a few things (namely the wheels) but you should consider some suspension upgrades to make it handle/look better. Forget about power, if you wanted more you probably would have bought a bigger engine in the first place. Beyond that, if your new wheels don't sit completely flush with the fenders, then look into some H&R wheel spacers. Many people don't realize exactly how much of an improvement wheel spacers can make to the overall impression of a vehicle. If you really want to spend your next paycheck on something big, possibly an OEM ML55 AMG bodykit or at least the fender flares? As far as affordable mods go, upgrade your sealed beam headlamps to the 2002+ projector headlights. That will probably run you somewhere between $350-$450 if purchased on eBay. Make sure you inform the seller that you're upgrading a 98 model, that way they'll make sure you buy the pigtail wiring adapters to make the whole conversion a plug & play affair.
Good luck.
