I have the same exact car and love it to death.
I normally drive it over my SL55 - which I thought would never happen.

Any plans to get that thing to Norwalk before the cold season? I would love to see that monster run.

Stiggs... Rider1 is right! That works just fine. Set to parking lights and pull out to first or second detent. Looks pretty cool.

I'd love to try it out Rock, but my next 4 weekends are jam packed! Maybe this spring? I'd like to watch you run your K2 as well. Are your from Ohio? Where did you have your Kleeman work done?

The Cleveland area is home.

As far as my K2 mods, I shipped my car to Kleemann, Cororado Springs to let Cory and Brandon do the tuning.

If you get a chance to get to the track, shoot me a pm. I would love to see another AMG run.

Congrats on the new ride. It looks menacing.

Where is the ML63 made?

Do they make the engine in Germany and the rest in Alabama? Or is the vehicle finished in Germany? I am considering European Delivery, hence the question.

AMG performance parts - including engine - made in Germany and shipped to Alabama.

Entire car assembled in Alabama.

As far as I know.

The engine and many of the parts are made in Germany.

The ML itself is assembled in Vance, Alabama, meaning unfortunately you won't be able to do a European Delivery on the ML63.

Believe it or not, I actually checked on a 'Bama delivery. I have family in TN, and thought it might be fun to pick the car up and tour the factory. No can do...

Too bad... a fresh shrimp dinner would be nice after flogging your new ML63 around!
