What's the wait for 2013 ml63
Hello guys,
Just for the info, I wanted to buy a clk 63 black series, but had to settle for a 2013 ML 63 instead. 4 wheel drive AMG won here in Switzerland
Will have to wait the black.
Anyway, what is the wait in the US? I will sign the contract in a few weeks and need to wait until December
I can't wait for it and then I will go to Vath to gain 680hp
(Special intercooler, exhaust with back pressure and headers)

I was also told that allocations will be quite limited in the US. I went with a 2012 that someone ordered and backed out of their deal because I couldn't get a firm answer on a 2013 allocation. I had a lease ending in the fall and the dealer made it no cost to me to get out of the lease. A couple of months ago they were saying that one might be able to get a summer production/fall delivery but they couldn't guarantee it.

Therefore IMO, there are no other SUV's that are better than the ML 63 at the moment. It's extremely comforatble and bloody quick... Not to mention the incredible look of the car and the interior when you see it im real life...
IMO, the Cayenne doesn't look as good... The SRT doesn't look that great inside altough it's a big improvement... etc.

Decide what vehicle you want - then drive it. Don't expect any vehicle to do everything. As brilliant as an ML may be, it cannot give the thrill of an SL on a tight road regardless of the power available. But the SL or any good sports car cannot carry 4/5 people, with full luggage and tow a big trailer for a long run. That is definitely ML territory, regardless of whether its a 3.0L diesel or 5.5L V8.

I spoke to another MB dealer in Geneva yesterday night and didn't want to give me a date for the delivery 
After a while, he admited that there is a big problem because the high demand (here in Swizerland at least).. it's is too high and the factory can't keep up.
Just to sum it up:
- To buy the new SLK 55 AMG you can get it in stock or worst case in 5 months.
- The W166 ml 63.... the wait is almost a year
Damn it will be a long wait I can't believe it
Does anybody else in Europe knows the wait?

Sweet! Was there any option you didn't get? The B&O, night vision, and Distronic are my favorite options for that car. Love that you got the soft close doors, wish they introduced that earlier.

So did you actually get confirmation that the Multi Contour seats (399) are not available for MY13 ML63 or are they just not available for your unit build?

EVOII: Congratulations. Remember you need to break-in the engine till 1500 km before going nuts. There will be a red sticker with instructions on the sun visor. My neighbor succeeded in blowing his 2012 ML-63 engine before reaching 200 km on the odometer (distance not speed). The replacement car arrived after 4 months.
