Question for w166 ml63 owners

Dear AMG fans,
I have 2 quick questions:

I almost had a heart attack reading the Mb enthusiast this month so CAN you guys 1. please confirm that the w166 amg does have throttle blipping when downshifting? My understanding is that in any mode it happens. 2. Also, i red that only in sport mode plus the steering is firmer.

Thanks a lot in advance

Throttle blipping only happens in sport or manual mode, not comfort mode.

Steering is a little firmer in sport mode, more so in sport+ mode

Is this the February edition or March? Is the article solely about the ML63?

I'm still waiting for my ML and would love a good read!

It s in the March one. I always really enjoy this magazine but this article is terrible and full of wrong facts!

However, there are plenty of other articles in other magazines that are great. For example Evo comparing the ml63, the Morgan and the mono (a race car). To be fair, the first testdrive of the ml63 was really great the first time in Mb enthusiast but it was written by Ian Kuah which always does a stunning job
