Thanks chaps, I must say I'm pretty happy with this purchase 
If it was my car that I used all the time then without doubt....but for the missus??
I also don't think the ML can take the full 700BHP+ potential because of transmission limitations - it has the regular Merc 7G+ box, rather the MCT in other models (hence for instance the previous 65 AMG's all had the ld 5 speed box because the 7 speeder couldn't handle the torque). I could be wrong though.
Nutter chaps?? But why? I've bought an eminently practical and all-rounder of car
You don't need to be old to have dubious taste
Well, it's a wheel and it's spare but looking at the size of it, not sure it's going to facilitate much except very slow progress!
Sorry about the lack of pictures, just haven't had the time. Thank to The Don for 'outing' my sexy interior but for anyone who hasn't clicked the link for the advert (which no doubt will be taken down soon), here's a picture for all to see and ridicule as you see fit!
The good news is Gemclean are doing a full detail on it later this week. They're nowhere near me but from the pictures I've seen on the forum (particularly that black E63), Michael is worth the journey. After the success I've had on the M3, I'm having gtechniq's Crystal Serum and Exo V2 applied as it makes the car so smooth and easy to clean.
As for 'that' wood interior, AMG have confirmed they don't offer any services for the ML at the Design Studio I thought this a little odd until I remembered the ML is made in America, so they'll probably not have parts or expertise in Germany.
This means I either need to buy the replacement black ash wood trim (I'm waiting for a quote but am expecting big money) or find a trimmer who'll wrap the bits in Alcantara - I used d:class on one of previous C63's to have the headlining Alcantara trimmed so I may try them again.

Very nice Andrew...but you're a nutter

Nice to see a spare wheel!! Most of the cars I've been looking at lately have had a space and a can of carp sitting there...
