Ml 350
New ml 350 bluetec first impressions

Hi
I received my car a month ago.
It is my third ml
After a first gen 320ml i had a 2006 ml 320 cdi fr all most 8 Years

First the pro :
Hold function
Nice interior
Good engine
fuel consumption

What i don't like :
Smaller fuel tank about 70 liters
Day lights only from the menu system and with engine off
No fog lights???
Std hallogen headlights
Eco system reset itself each time you start the car
No retrofitting in general

Changes so far
Added rear camera On audio 20

Wishes add fog lights and maybe headlights xenon bulbs
i tried a pair on my former w164 but have them removed after a while due to malfunction

What market are you in? Most have the 93 litre tank standard.

The fog lights operate by the press button next to the rotary light switch. They do not have separate lamps up front, but instead function via the intelligent light system.

Shame about the tank. Personally I am not familiar with Morocco, but I expect you do have long distances between fill ups in certain areas like us.
