Go to your dealer as in US builds don't start till OCTOBER unless they didn't get enough 2WD orders. Guide said Oct for Bluetecs in US

Build a 2013 ml350 4matic on mbusa.com, then add $1,500, you get your bluetec pricing

Thanks LTJohn, it was a toss up between Obsidian Black and the Steel Gray, My SA told me the Obsidian was a dusty black which is nice but requires constant cleaning, but the steel gray never looks dirty.

I ordered 20" rims, my SA says it might delay my getting it. does any one think it is worth the wait, or there is not much difference between the 19 and 20?

From my SA last week.. Base price of 2013 Bluetec is $51,270.00. An increase of almost $800 from MY 12

What do you get for the extra $800?

The updated MBRACE2, color display in instrument cluster, and collision prevention assist is all from what I can tell. I want the lighting package and will take the hit for switching to the MY 13 from 12.

It looks like they eliminated the Bluefficiency badges on the sides and i am going to debadge the entire car of possible which looks cleaner to me after seeing them in Germany a few months ago.

If the bloggers are correct there may be an increase in HP 18, plus better mileage. I guess we just have to sit tight and wait. Is the 20" rims worth the wait?

For me the US 20s look too much like the 19s get aftermarket 20s keep 19 for winter tires. Mandrus makes wheels exclusively for MB so no fit rings. KXwheels sells them

I read about the MBRACE2. Seems real nice. Sucks for us 2012 owners. :-(

How much discount are you getting when ordering a 2013 Bluetec?

With a 5 month wait, it's not easy to get a discount.......helps if you are MB family.

Under invoice plus incentives. Placed order in August. ML "shortages" in US have been reported so it may not be as easy to get screaming deals.

2013 MB BTC
We get ours tomorrow -- very excited:

2013 BTC - Dakota Brown (wife owns a chocolate shop, so it made sense) with Premium 1, lighting pkg, HK sound, ParkTronic, almond beige leather, walnut burl, panorama sunroof, 20" wheels.

Can't wait! USAA gave us a significant discount and incentive on price.
