6 weeks with my ML

I have owned my ML 6 weeks now...it is officially broken in as I have passed the 3000 mile mark....

To my suprise it has grown on me more each week ,I have commuted every day in it....Aside from the engine, which we all know now... I think my favorite part of driving this car is the dominating feel of the car......the driving /seating/2 hands on thick steering wheel ,fabulous amg seat and the overall feel the car has, it has a commanding driving position that just gives security to your overall driving experience...
I still drop all 4 windows 2" when I go through the smallest of tunnels.The engine propels the exhaust under heavy acceleration like a gatling gun propels bullets.....I really made the right choice, I wonder how they could ever top this?

What was your avarage consumption? How do you like the handling of the truck so far?

YOU Can make it better with Headers and ECU from Renntech 555hp and 515 ft of trq, although they dont have headers yet they need 1 ml63 to do the measuring, I spoke to one of the representetive over the email!

I wonder would ml63 be just as fast as stock e63 with mods?

What do you mean by officially broken in at 3000miles? I thought 1000 was broken in?? how slow am I supposed to keep it until 3000??

did I mess up?

That is a generalization.....I do notice the car is quieter and suspension ironed out a little more.....Under 1000 miles it was not as quik....IMO


Has anyone tried a very quik lane change at 60mph....Very impressive!
I mean Abrupt toss of the wheel.You will be suprised!
