Finally a owner ML550

After 6month of deciding on which SUV to get and waiting for the official release and price the ML550(black on black) is in the garage. The local dealer happen to have one that was very close to my spec so me and the wife said what heck. So here it is
Spec-PII, ipod kit, trailer hitch , and CD changer

I cant really give any comment base on I never own a SUV before(my first) Traded the 04 Audi S4 for it, so it really be a good comparison. Right now I am just trying to get use to be riding high. As far as power goes the ML does got some.

Is that a normal key ignition I see to the right of the steering wheel? Does the car not come with 'Keyless go' and the 'START' button? Can't see too clearly. Nice interior though!

Big difference!!! You can really feel the extra 80 horses. I have no doubt that MBUSA's website is correct in that the 08 ML550 does 0-60 in 5.6.

On the keyless version, there is a large start button covering the actual key slot. If there is a problem with the keyless go, then you would remove the start button to reveal the "traditional" slot.

Hope this helps.

Want to bye ml55
Front heated seats goes standart on ml55?
You dont know why configurator on mbusa for ml55 counts many things two times?
First in Accessories, second in Packages.
For example
Options
iPod Integration Kit $375
Illuminated Door-sill $550
Chrome Handle Inserts $85
6-Disc CD Changer $450

Packages
P3: Premium III $8,500
323 Heating Package $810
922 Interior Appearance Package $510

Accessories
Chrome Door Handle Inserts $79
Style VI 20" AMG 5-Spoke Wheel $4,640
iPod Integration Kit with Cradle - M - Class $348
CD Changer $785
Illuminated Door Sills $430
Tnx
And with different price.
And why it is impossible to choose parktronic in a configurator for ml (mbusa)?

I sat in ml 2008 but a not liked seats.
Very big support of a back, is impossible will relax.
In general it is not convenient a back.

I just noticed your ML550 doesn't have the wood trim running above the glove box and near the steering wheel either. Some MLs have this, others don't. What's up with that?

AsianML: The wood above the glove box is only with the leather or MB-tex dash. It is on these models: ML63 AMG, GL320, GL450, and GL550.
