Ml63

11 mpg would be mega to run.
 
They are great cars, class leading in most respects and a big step up from the old ml55. Economy is not their strong point but it is 60 percent better on average than my old overfinch 630r so I can see the improvement in technology over the intervening ten years or so...
Bald guy is right spec on that one is basic and it's an unusual colour combination, i think the black interior looks better but this is subjective.
 
18mpg might help.... left that bit out....

Thanks all, just got back online. I picked it up ! Yes it doesn't have parktronic however I do like blue and the powerplant sealed the deal.

It is a one owner car with FMBSH and only 47k miles. I had equity in the turbo so financially it was a good deal to get more space and keep the pace.

Averaged 20 mpg back home and this included 2 hours stop start on the M6 due to a coach fire and some M25 traffic (Manchester to Surrey).

The turbo will be missed for it's unique character, however here is to hoping the 63 will be a fitting replacement.

Baldguy - we have a mutual friend, I've sent you mail. I am planning on retrofitting a reversing camera preferably wireless. Done some research however not sure what camera will fit flush, any ideas ?

Oh ! btw when I cleared traffic and got onto the M40 it was motoring nirvarna.

To add, the turbo averaged between 19 - 22 on a similar run, however my old petrol G (300) was crippling ! I don't think it will be beaten.

My two ML63's have returned an average of 14.9mpg over about 40,000 miles of mixed driving.
