Love the Wheels... Don't care for the new nose. Looks like a pretty minor mid-life facelift. Are these official MB Photos or someone's Photoshop musings??

Looks official, but ML63 does look like a bit of a Photo chop to me.

2008 ML63
love the wheels as well... the lights look good too. not sure i am loving the bumpers though... good thing is, it seems like a pretty easy and cheap retrofit for anyone who wants to do it... seems like they did not change any panels except bumpers, lights and grill...

The rear led lights and the wheels might be a worthwile upgrade but I prefer the current model based on those photos.

What size wheels? They look like XL versions of the 20s on the CL63 030. Love them.
What size are the tires? My old 4.6iS runs 315 R20 rears stock but these look even wider

Those interior shots would be the standard European model, the plastic dash and absent of the storage drawer under the climate control is a giveaway. MB really likes to short change the Europeans. Also the Alum trim on the doors and the black dash trims more than likely will be be on North American models, citing 'the majority of US customers WANT wood trims'.

OMG, MB don't even give standard radio?!?!?
Leather dash has been a standard item for the AMG models here in Canada, and I think the US also for the existing ML63, I believe it wasn't even an option for Euro cars if I remember correctly.
