I was able to have a local dealer send me a screenprint of Netstar, which is what they use to configure new orders from MB. I wanted to see the options, hoping that like the '09 ML550, I could order ADS (Adaptive DampingSystem) and Air Suspension as a stand-along item. I hated the fact that MB made you order premium package 3 at $9 grand, just to get air susp+ADS. This alone made me willing to wait to get my diesel when BMW introduces late this year. Now I am willing to consider ML320 again. The other changes are interesting as well; I really like the new focus on tech items, placed in P01 now. The bitmap screenprint was too big to upload, so had to reduce quality to this PDF. You may have to enlarge to see all. Will be interesting to see pricing now.

Neat. Its about time the put some thought into the options package.

dgiturbo, I see that you have P3 with air susp. and ADS. How to you find the handling (control of body lean; able to make quick changes and not disturb chassis composure; can push hard in corners and feel sporty)? By chance, did you compare to X5 at all (with or w/o sport pkg)? It is hard to find dealers that have a P3 in stock to test drive.

So is the sunroof no longer standard as it was on the 2008s?

Or will all models come with the 324 package "standard"?

Also, are Xenon lights finally standard or is that going to be announced later? Will it still be part of P02 or a standalone option?
