ML 350 Bluetech 2013 Loving it!
Front Grill Star

I have a 2012 ML350 UK model.Built in August 2012 ,delivered in October 2013.
I noticed on some ones car, who I know bought it a few months before me in July 2012 .

They both are more or less exactly the same but I have notice 2 differences.Both have AMG style body ,both ml350 both the new shape.

1. The front Grill big star is filled in olid plastic shiny back while my one is hollow.
2.He has small silver 3 inch bluetech efficiency badge on the side of the car just above front wheels/front door.

Has any one any idea why these differences? I am not sure what other differences there are but noticed these 2.
Just inquisitive... why these differences.

Re: your first point, the ML with the "filled" star is equipped with Distronic cruise control. One of the radar units resides in the Star.
As for your second point, perhaps he had it removed. I have had all the badges removed from mine, as they are not to my liking.
