you get the amg grille, artico leather with white stitching, leather dash, ambient lighting, led front and rear lights, black headliner, dark tinted headlamps. and 20 inch bi colour rims. more of a cosmetic option. looks way nicer than a stock one imho. amg steering wheel with paddle shifters as well.

My friend..l would have considered the 350 Bluetec, but l didn't like the option of the run-flats that came with it.............But l do agree, the Grand Edition is a wonderful option package, with the rims and the tinted front and rear headlight and tailights....as well as the gorgeous seating, the black headliner and the nice AMG steering wheel..nice touches...........

I've found that the best way to avoid stone chips is not to tail-gate. It requires a very strong will, but if you just keep back from traffic you'll never get stone chips and won't need that awful yellowy 3M film.

They're coming with run flats now? Geeze, hate that. BTW, is the 350CDI same engine as the 320CDI, just renamed?

That's pretty damn cool, I'm jealous we don't have anything like that here! Black headliner & AMG wheel would seal the deal for me

Congrats on your new ML

Hi got my 2011 bluetec with designo package in November it came with 21 inch amg wheels and pirelli tires which are not run flats. I am in Canada so maybe that's why

The Canadian ML BlueTEC does not have run-flats. The only Model Year 2011 Benz in Canada with run-flats is the GL 350/450 with 20" wheels.

The gauge cluster will indicate if tire pressure is low in one tire relative to the other three, but the tires themselves are not run-flats.

Not so, all 2011 ML350s come with run-flats, 19" and 20".

I assure you that you are absolutely incorrect - no 2011 Canadian MLs have run-flat tires. 350 and 550 have a mini spare, 350 BlueTEC has TIREFIT (goo and an air compressor). Go take a look at your sidewalls.

I test drove a ML350 Bluetec last wednesday: no run-flat tires and tirefit. I'm in Montreal, Canada.

When l purchased..........

my 2010 ML350, the BlueTec(diesel) only came with run-flats, that is why l went with the gas version.....Then l upgraded in 2011, l went with the 550, normal tires.............
