I love the red on the grille. Wrapper said it looked "pretty" but would have looked meaner in black. I disagree, everyone's blacking out their grilles nowadays. I like to be different.
2004 E 500 4MATIC Wagon; 2015 ML 350 4MATIC; †2003 C 240 4MATIC Wagon (2003-2022)
2015 ML 350 4MATIC is used for towing throughout the year. Towed U-Haul enclosed trailer up the east coast of the U.S. Used our open dump trailer (not pictured) much of the year for dumping brush and trees, for moving large appliances and building materials for renovations, and for hauling away demolition waste (e.g., old flooring, old showers, sinks, toilets, attic blow-in insulation, old furnishings, etc.) to the transfer station and metal destined for scrapyards (old brass door knobs, hardware, pipes, plumbing fixtures and fittings, ancient cast iron baseboard heaters, radiators, etc.). Attached a cargo carrier for moving equipment (e.g., snowblowers, lawnmowers, emergency generators, etc.) between properties we own for maintenance. We have gotten a lot of use out of the SUV and never had to rent dumpsters for our projects, pay extra for hauling and disposal, hire moving trucks, or spend on brush removal over the past two-and-a-half years... At the shop for its annual maintenance service (in the background). Mike, the owner and head technician, is at the bottom left corner.

So far so good. Grabbed another ML 350 over the winter in Daytona. 63k church lady car for $14.500 I ditched my 3500 mile Q5 at Carmax and went back to the Volvo dealer from the previous day. Beat their trade number by $5000 but gave back $1000 in tax.
I ordered 255/55-19 Bridgestones and will add 15mm spacers then. I think it needs motor mounts. Volvo put Nexen tires on, did alignment and OC with some respectable type lube.
Sold the ML350 yesterday at 88k miles. It has been a joy to own and I miss driving our black panzer. The new owners are good folk and I was happy to sell to them. Family is growing so we needed a third row vehicle.
When my GTI bites the dust I am going to pick up another ML or GLE350, wonderful engine and transmission, and the 4Matic was the best!!
