The World hates the ML55.
Over a month ago, I ordered a Green filter from autoanything.com, still hasnt arrived, I call the website, they claim that the direct manufacturer still doesnt have it. And now they're claiming that they will have 10 by the end of the week, which honestly I think is BS. There are virtually no upgrades for this car, and if there are, they are attached to astronomical prices.
If the green filter never ships, should I just cancel the order and get a K&N instead?

I'm assuming Green doesn't have stock right now.

Wonder if any of the other model filters would fit the ML. Eurotech was the best...ordered and received Greens same week.
No problems on the E55 BTW....same as K & N though, basically same filter only Green. Just my humble.
Eurotech website
Do a search for Green...only way to find um.

One thing I realized is that the airbox for the ML320 and 55 are exactly the same size. Gruppe M makes a ML320 carbon fibre intake, im thinking it is at least 1/2 the price of a renntech box, and they claim it delivers 12-18hp gain. Im a little skeptical, but it definetly delivers some gain. Since the ML320 box is the same the gruppe M intake should fit my 55 no sweat. Still no green filter.

And the ML hasn't been to the dealer in 4 months! And it's only been there 4 times throughout it's lifetime, for non-TSB related work. For the TSB stuff, it's only been out 5 times.

55 has cold air intake from the factory. Thank for the nice response on my offer to help you with the filter. And I love these folks with the 320s that scoff at the 55s or talk about the 63 but will never have either.

Never had an issue on any other car, but thesis my first MAF car in a LONG time.
The oil isn't always a good thing...
