Depends on the vehicle age, mileage and how it was or wasn’t maintained. What year is your MB and how many miles does it have? What maintenance has been done in the past 12 months?

I put some sweet Michelins on mine, then new hubcap inserts, a $700 ultimate detail and some authentic windshield wipers. Next steps are a genuine MB oil change, rotors and pads all around, and maybe a map update... okay and maybe all new tint... then it's DONE!

Hm, first thing i’ve done

I think the first thing i did was oil change, new brakes and rotors.

The list goes on from there for my ML400 at 112,000km
