Pics of alpine rain.....

I would never have ordered this color sight unseen. Probably would have got obsidian again. When I saw this ML that a guy ordered then backed out of because of "the color", I couldn't believe it. Alpine rain rocks on the ML 63!
The interior is black, and with the silver trim accents in the interior and the beaultiful burl wood the combo looks stunning.

I will post some interior shots soon. I will also post a detailed write up soon when I get some time. Lets just say that I am absolutely thriled with this vehicle. Trading in the E55 was somewhat difficult, but the ML 63 has exceeded my expectations.

Alpine Rain is beautiful. A nice alternative to the silver that you always see.

I like the alpine rain...sorta a blue/silver. It reminds me of the Land Rover change from Zambezi silver (silver) and Zermat silver (silver/blue), however they don't offer both. Nice looking truck!

Congratulations on your new, absolutely awesome car, eagleeye.

And I thank you very much for the photos: this is a color that I am extremely interested in, both for an ML63 and for an R63 - and your photos give me a large measure of affirmation that it is a color that I should be interested in.

Congrats, and enjoy, again. And thanks, again.

Damn it!! How many more ML63s must I see before mine comes in????

Congrats on the new ride. I haven't seen any ML dressed in that color before, so it's definitely beautiful, unique, and refreshing.
