In the next days I will do a 0-100 ( 5sec. ) video with the Cam in my car.

Have fun !

That is one nice car.
Congratulations and enjoy.

I'm hoping to buy one this winter but am waiting for some information from the dealer. I'm not happy about the roof and pillar look inside the car. I want a darker look and possibly a material upgrade. As it is, it looks too much like a ML500 inside.

Congratulations on the new 63, I'm sure your one of the first on the board to have one. I hope the SUV works out great for you. Once again congratulations.

It's still working well, has about 1600 kms on it. DC delivered it with the old 4.0 DVD but I got a new 6.1 one after I told them. Too bad you can't get rid off the belt alert anymore. ( DC changed the electronic so the dealer has no more menu on the onboard system which can turn it off... that sucks a little )

Ciao, ML63

Don't think ML63 will have leather dash, in the photos here it is not and it isn't there in the AMG site photos and not even in the spec.

You could do what I do and just have it stop by AMG Manufaktur for leather interior treatment prior to its being shipped to you in Canada....

LOL

I just realized that the ML is made in the USA -- might cost just a little bit, you think, to ship it back and forth to Germany and have the leather done?!!!

Sometimes I just kill myself....

Sorry about that....

If you do have a Brabus-type outlet in Ontario (Toronto perhaps?) I do not believe that it would involve overly-much money, time, or hassle-factor to have some leather added to the interior.

I do it all the time, across makes of cars, as I don't like plastic.

it is one of those what were they thinking cases.....people forking out 90k for any car dont want a rubberized dash,.....and they are most likely willing to pay for leather upgrades.

Porsche charges aroud 6K for full inetrior leather on 997's why cant MB?....especially when the parts exist on the GL

IMHO, the ML 63 should have the dash that the GL PE's do

It maybe an option in the UAE, but it's definitely not on the option sheet here in canada. You do understand that almost anything people want in their cars in the UAE they get it?

Im talking about a car i have seen it here in Houston TX
I called the dealer in my country and asked them about it, they said the first car will be delivered in 3rd week of Sep for something around $123K

I hang up the phone and decided to pick-up one from here.
I have two options,S550 with S65 package (if it is available) or ML63

after seeing the pictures of a brand new ML63 and it has the leather dash, I am going back to eat my own words on ML63 not getting the leather dash. As least you all know cars for USA have leather dash.
