I have never joined a forum in my life but since buying my 1999 ML320, I have no choice. It is a love-hate relationship. I love driving this vehicle but it has so many little problems which cost so much. I also have a 2008 528i BMW which is very smooth but doesn't give the same feel as the ML320 on a long ride. I have posted my my most recent problem in the M-Class Forum. Everyone else here in this forum is probably just as hopelessly hooked on their MB. .........

 

Yeah the ML is the "Blacksheep" of the mercedes family if u dont mind being nickled and dimed then u won't mind it but if u expect years of only regular maintainence forget it!
