ML63 Special Edition Questions..

Greetings guys! I'm about to purchase an '09 ML63. I'm buying it sight unsean, aside from pictures emailed to me. It comes with the 21" alloys and the interior trim seems to be black.

With that said, is this possibly a special edition? Either the 10th Anniversary or the Performance Studio? How can you tell if it is either?? When I called Benz regarding the VIN# associated to the car, they mentioned MSRP'd with the 21" wheels.. so whoever owned it didn't purchase those aftermarket.

Thanks for the education! Appreciate any tips.

Sounds like it's an ML63 with optional Deisgno piano black wood trim. The 21" rims are an option. I don't think this is a special ed.

MB Westminster had an ML63 Special Edition a while back and from what I can recall, it had a special two-tone interior, but I couldn't tell you too much else aside from the fact that it was like any regular ML63 you'd see.

Those special editions had different wheel color choices, a slightly different bonnet design and interior color options as well
