I'm in Vancouver and when I bought my ML500, I special ordered that color. I've only seen one other ML in that color and it was an ML63.

My next ML63 will be that color again...

if you don't like the amg bumper, you can always post to see if someone would trade their stock bumper + some cash for the amg bumpers.

Dont change the AMG to standard bumper. Instead save up another 800 dollars to add some flares and you will have a car that looks so much better than the normal looking non AMG shape it's scary.

Colour is amazing also!
