2011 ML 550 vs 2014 ML 350 Bluetec
Hey guys - obviously a huge difference. One with tons of power and one with great MPG. We currently have a 2011 ML550, 09 E320 Bluetec & 09 E350 Sport.
I have been so impressed with the mpg performance of my diesel, I was considering getting the '14 ML 350 Bluetec. Question - I already have a diesel in the family.... so, is it worth giving up the 550 performer to go bluetec and new body style?
Thanks for input.

For road trips we will use the diesel which I lease. The residual is 60% after three years. Which means that by doing back to back 3 year leases, I will pay out 80% over 6 years. Remember that all the options are residualized. There are a lot of options that have no value at the end of 5 years that you paid out 100% of the cost.
That my 2 cents.

Unless you tune the ml350 with 300hp not worth it imo compared to the ml550. Not to mention its easely done on the ml350 and you also get around 700 Nm :-)
However for example the tuned ml350 like the Brabus or Vath v35 cdi are realy cool
