Just a quickie, I had a look at an ML350 at CarGiant in London. I pressed the boot button, heard a little motor go from the boot...is it supposed to open up like my old C-class did?

Hi

It probably opens but wouldn't open up fully like a saloon, as it would be dangerous
 
No, they're not powered to automicatically lift. The noise you heared was probably just the electonic lock being disengaged as you held the handle.
 
Hi,

The new ML (W164) comes with a power boot option.

This can be controlled remotely (driver's door switch and/or key fob) and from boot lock and the door swings fully open (not fast, so you can get out of way :eek: ).

I really like it :D cos you can open boot before you get to car and 'bung' bits and pieces straight into back etc. w/out having to put them on the ground first (while you open boot).

Cheers,
