Took delivery of my pristine '14 ML550 this past weekend and immediately drove about 900 miles to bring it home. Loved the ride; effortless power and complete road domination with its commanding presence. It's rather ironic that the options I didn't really care about when I was looking, Distronic Plus, Blind Spot Assist, and Lane Notifcation (or whatever it's called), turned out to be really useful. Particularly blind spot assist. I love my W164 ML550 (still have it), but the W166 version steps it up to an entire new level. Glad to be here.

Welcome aboard. I can just imagine the power of that engine on the same chassis as my BT.

Too Funny, I wasn't really looking for those options either but have found the lane alert useful and the distronic plus cruise is great.... Hurt my foot this weekend and set it on the highway, kept me from having to keep hitting the gas and brake with my injured foot...

Welcome !!

Just curious, what mileage are you getting on that ML550? I suppose it all depends on how you drive...

You lucky dog, I jealous I have been looking at 2014 ML550 for months on the web. Would like to trade my 2015 ML350 but hate the blood bath.
