The UK-based Mercedes Enthusiast magazine is searching for an ML55 AMG owner as part of a feature on the M-Class. It would only involve answering a few questions and sending us a photo of you & your car - not a lot but we'd appreciate it and you get to see your name in print!
Wherever you live, if you're interested or know someone who might be, send an e-mail to jfallonedmunds.com.

Front License Plate by ripleyiii

Here in California we have two license plates, and I never installed the front one until a kind police officer reminded me that it should be done. (I have a ML500 '02.) My "fix it" ticket is coming due soon.
So Mercedes kindly sold me the front moulding that fits my model for a mere $90. (Primed, I had to paint it myself. What do you expect for $90..?) But no attaching hardware or any kind of instructions came with it.
Has anyone ever attached one of these before? There are dots on the front bumper to indicate where the moulding is to be attached, but with what? I doubt I could get inside or behind the bumper to attach a nut. It's really frustrating.

Typically you drill a pilot hole in the bumper and use a self-tapping screw, like a sheet metal screw. MB has them if you can't find the right thing at Home Depot.

Thanks, Mark. Well, that doesn't surprise me. There's probably no other way of attaching something to a hard plastic bumper with no access to the inside. I just didn't want to deal with the concept of drilling into it, but drill I will.

Drill Away by markjenn

I worried about drilling the bumper on my last new car, but did it anyway. Later, I took the plate off for a period and was able to cover the holes with some small circles of colored tape. It looked better than the dimples.

"Eight years and a whole lotta competition later, Mercedes has finally readied that truck's successor. The 2006 Mercedes-Benz ML350 and 2006 ML500 are more powerful, handle better and offer more features."

Maybe the dealers will start tossing the bike in to sweeten the deals?

"Mercedes Introduces New Automatic Transmission-For Bikes"
 
What's next - BMW introducing a new bike with I-drive?

That would explain the massive pile up on the bike path!
 
First the BMW owners have to learn how to unfold them though:

Mark,
 
Do I need the special tool to disconnect the fuel lines? It's time for a filter change on my 2000 ML.
