E350 Sport/ML350RWD
New to US CPO 2015 ML350

Picked this up the other day to replace the 2014 ML that was totaled last month. I'm not sure why, but the 2015 drives much better than the 2014 we had. The 2014 steering felt loose to me and did not tighten up at higher speeds like it should. I absolutely love the Leather interior and hope it holds up compared to MB TEX.

Gorgeous! Carbon copy of the one we're hoping to buy from the neighbor this weekend. Same colours everywhere!


I wonder if there are really any significant design changes from 2012 to 2015. The 13' we're looking at has only one fault, the too-easy-to-turn steering wheel. The gf and I are used to sporty SUV's, so driving this anything-but takes a bit of getting used to.


BlueTec?

The Darker Grey has a different tone to it and looks very rich- It's almost a dark Taupe color. I was unable to locate a CPO ML in our area with the Sports Package- I agree the steering does feel a little loose or overly responsive. My E350 Sport is so tight it does take some getting used to.

Looks beautiful.

White exterior + beige interior + leather + cooled seats = you guys will have the coolest backsides in all of Benzland in the summer.

It is actually Gray/Dark Gray interior. The ML that was totaled had the Almond Beige interior. It might sound odd, but it always looked gloomy and depressing.

It will be even cooler when I get the windows, sunroof, and windshield tinted.

I just realized that your cup-holder roll-up cover is dark, whereas ours (hopefully) is grey. Yours is nicer. Much nicer!


Where do you park and do you believe in lethal force to protect your property?


BTW, is yours a diesel?

1. The roll-up cover is Anthracite Wood like the dash and doors. It does look much better than the plastic version.

2. Do you plan on "visiting me" to find out? Hint- Not Recommended.

3.Gasoline/E85

Even though it's only a 2-3 hr drive from the Cape, I think I'll look in scrap yards instead

RWD, Leather W/Anthracite Poplar Trim, Ventilated Seats, Harmon Kardon Audio, P1, Keyless Go, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Assist, Bi-Xenon Lighting Package, Interior Lighting Package, Illuminate Door Sills and Running Boards, and Trailer Hitch.
Her major wants were the Ventilated seats and Bi-Xenon lights so I think I did pretty good.
