ML 350 Bluetech 2013 Loving it!

My New ML350 Loving it!!

Dear all,

After a long ...long wait I finally got my Ml last week.Polished it today!!I had ordered it end of May, was Made in August and got it on 24th October.

I am so happy and excited.I am enjoying it and am happy with my decisions.
I was not sure about the running boards but am very happy with them.I had a black interior on most of my last few cars so I went for Mocha/brown dash and Beige/almond seats .I love it. Looks very "Posh"!
Ride is great and has an amazingly quiet diesel engine. Acceleration and speed is wonderful.
Every thing is Just perfect!

Beautiful! Once again, another one just like mine (except mine is a 2012 gas version). You will find reasons to go out and drive it - I guarantee it!!

Great car.. I have been driving mine and love driving it... Went into London and was great to see people looking at the car and even opening their car windows to compliment the colour on the car and the way it looks... Love the engines performance too. Unlike my old W164 which was sluggish and with turbo lag... This has none of those issues....

Enjoy driving the car..

Thanks Guys !
Enjoyed the steering wheel at wrong side remark!!

Yes any opportunity I like to go for a drive or go to the garage to get some thing so I can look at it !A bit childish but it will wear out with time I want to enjoy the feeling whilst it lasts
What I am not sure about is that is this 2012 or 2013.I have read in the forum in a few places that builds after July are 2012.
Is this true for all builds whether they are for USA.Canada/Australia or UK?
What is the difference in one bulit in June and one built in August ?
Why call is a "2013" if it was made in "2012" and there is no difference ?
Does any one have a clear answer ? It does not matter much but would like to know.

Most certainly a 2013. Check if you have the color MFD display between your spedometer and RPM, if so, you definitely have a MY13!

HI1
I the display in between the RPM and speedometer is in color!
The ECO is in green, P sign comes in blue and the speed /milage has underlining with red line , I guess this is what you mean by MFD color?
Apart from this are there any other differences ?
Bye the way can some one also tell me how to see the temperature outside...? How do i set that ?

Car model intrroductions in the US always precede the actual year, just like magazine dates. Makes them seem newer.

Here's for the temperature display:

Thanks or feed back.Makes me feel better to know it is 2013.Still loving it.I am glad i splashed the £$ even though some little voice was saying save it!!
I am not sure what robin is saying ...TK's Old wheels?!?!
Thanks mbden for good news and greg for the temperature display advice.
Is there a site for accessories for this model? I am thinking of a mat for the boot as it is beige I think it is best to have a mat.

It seems that there is no way to do this for one of these cars purchased at the end of the first quarter of this year... unless I am missing something?
