ML63 European Delivery?

Where do the make the ML? Do they import the engine to Alabama and finish it there, or is the vehicle finished in Germany? I am looking for a Euro Delivery for next year and wonder if the ML is available for ED.

Is it shown on the MBUSA webpage as being available for ED? NO!

Am I seeing in your sarcasm a suggestion that I may be stupid? I am just new here and I hope your tone is not the norm here.

There are many reports of people doing ED on cars that are not listed as available for ED on the website, but not with a 7% discount. Does anyone except this guy with the attitude know? Also, I am curious to know how they assemble the ML63, since MB makes at least the non-AMG versions in the USA. And before any knee-jerk responses, I have checked the AMG, MBUSA, and MB Alabama website and can't find this information.

And, before I forget, try not to let the over 7,000 posts take away some humility.

I was told that Powertrain and all AMG parts are shipped to Ala. for final assembly. I would think that E.D. on any ML would not be an option.

You are right. To add to this, an excerpt from the AMG website, from their stated philosophy:

"Following successful assembly and extensive bench testing, the AMG engines are dispatched just in time to the relevant production locations in Sindelfingen (D), Bremen (D), Graz (A), Woking (GB, McLaren Cars) and Tuscaloosa (USA), where they are built into AMG vehicles."


Tuscaloosa (USA)....question answered...thanks!
