Great car, never had a problem with it. It drives smooth and handles well.
and over the past couple of months been upgrading it to something different from the other ML's out there.

 

first modification was the rims
MKW m54 22 inch rims were my top choice. they look great and shine bright. only thing is they are so hard to clean.

ok so i took my car to Car Audio Innovations in roseville, CA and they set me up with a subwoofer that slaps. its a 12 inch Arc Audio arc series, with a kenwood excelon amp that pushes 600 watts at 2 ohms. and the sub handles it surprisingly well.
check out Arc Audio, they're quite underrated i think.

then just recently, i went to crutchfield online and they sent me a clean pioneer deck and very detailed instructions on how to wire it myself. pics later

and lastly i just installed a cb radio with a pa speaker. you can just imagine how the other drivers on the road love when they cut me off. =]

thanks i really appreciate the helpful info, ya thats what my car does it gets a lil bouncy and rubs on my fender on bumpy roads only in the front, the rear is tight, but my advice to any 1 with a Benz is if you first see problems get taken car of asap not only will that help your benz but it may help you from leading to a more serious problem leading to alot of money, my car has about 150k miles on it, i think its just time for it to be replaced, but ya heard about that benzworld site i think im going to be a member, since i can talk to people that know Benz and don't mind to take there time to help some 1 like me as your doing, but i will let you know when i create an account, thanks for your time
