Thank you everyone here for all the information and knowledge about the ML 350. My wife needed something bigger for our growing family so we decided to trade in her 2010 GLK. For those of who you are interested in the price we paid 60k out the door and got 5k off MSRP. Another MB dealer in the area was offering a black friday special for 5k off so our local dealer was able to match the discount, we did not negotiate any further on the price since we got a lot more than we expected for the trade in and 5k off seemed fair to us.

Here are the options we ended up with:

Diamond White
Almond Beige MB tex
P2 Package
Panoramic Roof
Running Boards
Wood premium leather steering wheel
Blind spot and lane assist
Rear seat prewire

Sorry for the horrible pictures, been a long day, will take some better ones tomorrow when the sun is out.

very nice car

how many rpms does the engine run driving in ordinary road? about 2000 rpm?

More day time pics please. Our 09's lease is up next year but cant get over the look of the new ML's... maybe it will grow on me.

Here's a pic from tonight. Honestly have not driven the car much yet to give a good review. .Wife will not get out of the drivers seat. I think the look of this car is hit or miss, you either like it or you don't. My biggest gripe was not seeing the exhaust pipes. The interior is very well done and the navigation is amazing.

Should be a nice day tomorrow I will definitely get some shots from all angles and the interior.

Pictures don't do justice, just saw one about a hour ago and damn does it look good! Although it seemed like it had a amg package as it looked different than yours. Solid choice on the diamond white. Does it come in just a normal white? Could swear the one I saw wasn't metallic.

DT21

It definitely comes in the standard Arctic White, which is actually what we went to the dealership looking for, turned out the only one they had on the lot with all the options we wanted came with diamond white.

As for the AMG styling, not sure if that if that is available in the US yet, if it is we definitely missed out! I know the ML 550 will have the AMG package.

I agree with you, pictures do not do it justice

DT21

Thx! When I drive it tomorrow, I will check and let you know.

@Stesl - RPMS a little bit below 2000 - I have a regular gas not the bluetec.

@tbal - Here are some more pics from today, wanted to take more of the interior but had my kid with me so was pressed for time.

Car is insanely easy to drive, the wheel is light as a feather (maybe to light?) During my drive I disabled Attention and Lane assist (not something I need) but kept Blind Spot assist enabled. I am use to turning my head to check a blind spot but having that double check is really nice to have. You only get an audible warning when you have your blinker on and someone is in your blind spot. Otherwise you just get the side mirror warning lights if you are not using turn signals, not invasive at all. Never drove a previous model ML, but the pickup and power of this car is very nice. The car feels extremely solid and the ride is so smooth.

Overall very happy with this car. Loving the white with pano roof, looks clean

If someone wants a specific picture let me know and I will take some this week. I really do recommend checking out these cars in person, it looks much better!

If you can`t tell the dash is all dark brown to contrast the beige.

Nice pics and congrats! Have you compared the diamond vs arctic side by side? curious to see if there is a noticeable difference that warrants the extra price

DT21

Saw both diamond white and arctic white when we bought the car, both look awesome. They are noticeably different. I think we would have bought one in arctic white had the dealer had one with all the options we were looking for. Diamond white from what I have seen is just nice a pearl metallic paint, very subtle and under the right light really pops. Might be to flashy for some (myself included) but my wife loves it.

If we had the choice to pick an arctic white with light package or diamond white no light package, I still say you gotta roll arctic white! Lot of nice options you can get for the price of this paint. Unfortunately for us waiting for the lighting package was not an option.

I see from your profile you own a 350 as well, enjoy!

Fongletez

Well almost own.. didnt notice the "On order" part wasnt showing up in the bio. I'll have mine in jan but ordered diamond white due to not liking the arctic so needed reassuring there was a good difference!

DT21

You will definitely love the diamond white as they are very different!

azzurribaggio

Mind if I ask which dealership you picked this up from?

DT21

PM sent.

I am so jealous, I have a Steel Grey, and I love the freakin white...I might take this back...

Could I do that???
