You are going to love it!! Sorry for my lack of pictures but the lens on my Canon Rebel bite the dust and I am deciding on a new lens or maybe just a new camera. I might just take a video of it and try posting that for you.

Diamond white is now my favourite colour of any vehicle I have owned and I really like it with the black leather interior/black dash/black headliner.

The engine is fantastic and I find myself taking detours to make my drives longer just to find some good roads to give it a workout.

Enjoy it!!!

ML 350
Take a look at the auburn leather option (that's what we selected), will be almost as dark as black (for cleanliness) but much more unique, just my 2 cents worth.

Just a word of caution....

The photos are not representative as are those of the ML63 AMG. All other ML variants have a "diamond" shaped/"quilted" style seat design pattern. Below is a link to the German official designo website/configurator. Choosing "Modellauswahl" (Model selection - bottom right of the screen) gives you the option to choose the Mercedes model, and then the standard or amg version. You can then compare the styles / colours.

I opted for 20" as I don't want to have to deal with the snow (whatever little we get of that in UK-London). I am going to go and test drive a car with 21" wheels next saturday and if I do like the ride, will upgrade mine too.. Will just have to buy a set of 19" and store them in the Garage..
