Funny you should ask. I saw my first one, other than my own, yesterday morning. I took an exit off off the beltway and pulled up right next to a Black/Black. Mine is Silver/Black. I have to admit, they look damn nice from behind! Nice stance!

I should have known I remember the SL55 and I saw you getting in the S4 the other week I think it had RS4 Alloys. Mine is Iridium Silver. Mum Lives in Mansfield and I take her to Rice Park every Tuesday to take my auntie shopping. Picked mine up the day I saw yours.

Everyone one in the uk got 8% off list except me, Purchased from brooker for £5k over list. I thought there would be a long wait though dealer so I did not bother. Only decided to buy in November. I love yours more than mine wish I got black now. Wish I joined this forum before yesterday could have saved
£5K + 8% off list and £11K of options I must have been mad. P4mer When did you order yours if you don't mind me asking?

Well this might not count, but I was at the dealer last week and was dropping off my car, when I saw a Black and Tan ML63 coming around to be picked up after just being serviced. Same exact combo as mine. I was looking around to see which of the five people waiting for there cars it was. You know, play that game in your head “of these five guys which one is the ML63 owner” I couldn't wait to meet a fellow gear head in person with the same exact car as me. It was then I saw what looked like a 18 year old girl get in. Then get back out and ask the service guy to pull it out of the spot it was in because she was afraid to do it herself. At that point I didn’t feel so proud to be a ML63 owner.

But the pride came back as soon as I hit the gas and the next entrance ramp.

Sorry Vik888 did not see your question before now, anyway the reason being is the fact that almost every car I have owned has been black and I like the idea of just jet washing it and not having to polish it because of the water marks, I also think silver looks sexy in the sun when black just looks dusty.

07 ML63 Silver Dead at 85k, 14 RS5, 05 SL600
Saw the first other one last night. Driving in front of me and a slow semi gave him time to squirt out onto higway 10 in Surrey. Man they sound good as they dissapear into the distance. Too long a line behind the semi so he was gone before I got out.
So hello to "AMG ??" in Vancouver! You have a great looking black beast I guess you all can imagine what ?? stands for.

Other than the two ML63's sitting on my dealers lot (both of which sold the same day, one to me) I've never seen another one!
