Actually, my wife is picking up her ML 500 SE today. Pewter/charcoal. I hope we got a good one! LOL. My wife will not have the patience I have to be running to the dealer for problems.

I'll trade you. I love the V8, but my wife hates the gas mileage & small fuel tank. She is always telling me that she wished I had gotten her the ML350!

Congrats. My wife loves hers. I wanted her to go with Pewter (my fav color), but silver was her choice. Great set of wheels.
