My salesman was in fontana and MB gave him a list of options that you can order on the ML 63 AMG and they were Ipod,Rear Entertainment,Rear Heated Seats,Cargo Tray,Roof Rack,Keyless Go,Trailer HitchWood/leather Steering wheel,Parktronic,Distronic. By the way PhilS where did you get this page of options ?
Maybe there are newer spec/option sheets than the ones I have. I got mine in early March. I tried to attach the page that just lists the ML63 standard items, but you couldn't see what it said. Too much shading.
I was originally told to expect pricing in the low to mid $70's. That was until they decided to load up the USA version of ML63 with about every option available. It is not equipped the same in Europe. I now believe the 3 magazine articles I read that quoted a MBUSA spokesman who said the base price is around $80k.

Once again note 11 says "Standard on ML63 AMG". If this option sheet was only for the ML500 why would it have those notes? As far as Keyless Go, from this sheet it appears it is only available on the ML63 and ML500. Maybe the option sheet you saw was only for the ML63.

I had actually ordered a Silver/Black ML63 with the only option being the Bi-Xenons back in March. I have since cancelled the order since I bought a Cayenne Turbo. I obviously haven't driven the ML63, but if it is half the fun of the Cayenne Turbo, you are in for one thrill ride. The Cayenne is the best handling SUV on the planet, it has power to spare, rides real nice and has great off road capabilities if needed. I look forward to the comparisons that are sure to come between the ML63 and the Cayenne Turbo/Turbo S.

If it is any help..I can ask the dealer for a copy of the ML63 option page..
As someone else said, the pages a few posts ago were from the ML500.
When I called them to confirm the options my salesman spoke to the dealer principle who confirmed the options, price range, delivery time frame and that he had been at that dealer get together where they all saw the ML63.
Said the new ML63 is the bomb! Great sound too

I think there may could be an updated specs/option list, but this one from March definitely covered all ML models. As they say "the information was accurate as of the time of publication". I received the info early March, almost 3 months ago.
As for the pricing, Mercedes sometimes does not release the pricing of new models until they actually start arriving at dealers. We had ordered a new S550 and couldn't get the actual price until they actually showed up at our dealer. You can get the options pricing early, but the base price of the vehicle seems to be their little secret until introduction to the public.

If it were just for the ML500 none of those notes would be needed. Plus, I have the page for the ML63 AMG that I got at the same time and it showed all the standard items included with the ML63. It did not list the Bi-Xenons.

But in March my ML63 was ordered with Bi-Xenons as an option (as others here also did).
Feel better now? You are right, I was wrong.

Please re-read my posts before you start with your code #999 type comments.

Does anyone have any info on pricing? The sales manager here just told me it would be high 80s msrp base price and $90K+ with options. If this is the case I would end up passing. For that money, I can think of better options.

I'm hoping he is full of it, because I just don't see the value if its going to be that expensive. I like what I've read so far, but for the money, I'll look elsewhere.

ML 63 AMG silver/black
Hi AMG Fans,
I was looking for any news and tests about the ML 63 AMG and by accident found this forum.
I ordered my ML 63 AMG in January and will be one of the first here in Germany getting this awesome car.
I live near by Hockenheim and saw the ML live at the DTM Race in April .
My car was build 3 weeks agon in USA but in Germany we have to give DC another 2 months for shipping the car to my dealer. So, I will get it hopefully in 5 weeks.
I ordered in silver with black leather. Distronic and the new Comfort seat with cooling ist available from Oct on here so I don't have it !
Bye, Peter
PS: basic price for the ML here in Germany is 96k Euro ( my one is 109k list price ). Do you get any good deals in USA buying the ML 63 AMG?

I noticed there were two prices, and I doubt M-B would show invoice pricing in official brochures.
What did you add to total 13k Euro in options?
