I'm considering moving from an E320 CDi to ML320 CDi. I'd love to hear a comparison of your experience with your e class Vs the ML.

My ML500 is due in Aug. I thought that the memory was linked to the key as in the E class I have. On my E on delivery it did not operate but a short visit to my dealer's had it reprogrammed and it now works great. If the nav is like my E Class (command) nav it will be fine for me. My current ML with its CD nav works fine but not when leaving my area requiring CD changes thus you cannot program a destination if its on another CD.

Well its been two years since driving the E but one thing I didn't like or couldn't get used to on the E were the brakes. They were just too sensitive for me. The ML brake pedal feels much better.

In comfort mode, I would not hesitate to say that the ML rides very similar to the E; one just feels higher up.

Cabin wise obviously the ML is not as wide but leg room isn't bad.

Thanks I'll check into this. I hope you're correct.
