Center dash storage drawer

Well, here it is, the dreaded "first post." I was unable to find much by searching the forum so...

Getting ready to order CDI - I have seen some ML's that have a single storage drawer at the bottom of the center dash. Other models have a second drawer directly below the lowest controls (ride height, heated seats, hazard button etc.) above the "standard" drawer.

Does anyone know why some models have this extra drawer and some dont? My only guess is that the PIII option gives the 2nd drawer? My dealer was clueless and never even noticed this...

Thr lower drawer is the ash tray/lighter. The upper drawer comes with the Premium package or at least did so in 06.

I have yet to see a PI or PII with the 2nd drawer - only PIII cars. Funny as the ML63 I sat in did not have the 2nd drawer, and it pretty much has every option standard...

The Compartment Box in my 2007 GL450 is 164 680 11 52 (1646801152). (Looks the same for at least some MLs. Not sure if it includes the rubber mat inside it, but there is no identifiable numbers on the mat.)

The Burr Walnut Trim Cover is 164 680 14 39 (1646801439).

If you don't already have one, you'll likely need to change the Center Bezel for one with the additional opening.
