ML 63 AMG arrived !

Hi AMG Fans,

last Wednesday I picked up my new ML 63 AMG. So far I drove about 500km and can tell you that the car is awesome. It#s fantastic on gas and goes like a rocket. The sound is typical AMG sound and I'd say it's comparing to the 55 Kompressor models. ( loud enough !! )
It drives like a sport car and not like a SUV. Very quick on gas changes ! I had a 4.6is X5 before and power between those 2 guys is not comparable. The ML is ways more faster and so much more fun to drive.

bye, Peter

Congratulations.

And good to hear about your favorable impressions -- especially concerning the handling. .

Can't wait to see the pics!

Please do me a favor, if you will, and take one of the backseat for me? I am still wondering whether it is a three-adults backseat or a two-adults back seat....

I ordered it without type-plates; at January, when I ordered it, you only could order it without plates on the back so it came with the "6,3 AMG" on the sides. IWhen you order now you can choose both, side and back without plates.
My dealer took them away and I have them now at my wall It's a good item for ebay, too.


bye, Peter

Lovely!!

Nice ML Peter!! What is your average fuel consumption in litres per 100km? I know when you have such a powerful car that is not the main concern but it would still be interesting to know because these new 4 valve per cylinder engines appear to consume less fuel than the 3 valve ones. I would guess you get better mileage than an ML55.

I did it because of "typical GERMAN neighbours" and because of my clients and my workers in my business. I know, people who know cars know what car that is, but there are still a lot who don't....
Send you guys the plates-photos and the vid soon. I am pretty busy right know and not in my office a lot.....

Ciao, Peter

It's not because of getting the car stolen. Guys who steal cars know exactly what they are looking for and debadging doesn't help at all. It's more because of neighbours, clients and other business partners. Most of the people here who have expensive cars have companies and just don't want to "show" anybody what kind of car they have.
But I'd say that 75% of all the cars here don't have bedges on it so it's not unusual....

Frankly, I think that there is an aesthetic aspect to debadging, as well - nothing like the look of a 'clean machine'.....

The Sound....

Hi ML 63 Fans,

here finally the sound. Too bad, my son didn't wnat to hang behind my car while driving so I had to do it when the car wasn't driving but I think it will give you a good view, how this rocket sounds.

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

Have fun !
