ML350 4MATIC 2009. Electronicaly limited top speed for US models is 209km/h. Speedometer is 160MPH (260kmh). Once i checked car reached to 205km/h of speed. Question is, is there no any chance to reach till 260km/h ? If not, why manufacturer insicate 160mph (260km/h) on speedometer.

The speed is limited by the car's computer. To remove the limit you have to modify the programming. My ML550 was the same way but it topped out at 145mph/230kmh. The speedometer has a higher limit to make you feel good.

What i understand this 260KM/H is just an illustration on speedometer and ML350 4MATIC can not reach to 260KM/H after modifying limit programming.

That's only 160 mph. Come to Germany, rent one and find out what it can do on the Autobahn with a good tailwind.

as i can't come to Germany, can you please make video and kickdown the pedal on Autobahn and show what it can do best.

Sure, you pay for the rental and I'll make the video.

I think the 2006 models are limited to about 132 mph (214 kph). The newer ones might go faster. Mine is geared so low that it would be screaming at such speeds. I never tried to top it out and have not had it any fast than 100 in Mexico. It did that easy enough. It is quicker and faster than my old Chevy small block LS powered Avalanche which it replaced.

The badge was most defiantly changed. the badges are off from their position. Theyre crooked and too close to the outside edge. I would check for turned bolts and etc. It's possible the hatch got repainted.
