I am test driving it on June 18th at the 2006 M-Class Road Rally and I will see what it has. :bustingup My friend invited me soon I took him up on the offer.

Let us know how it drives. That's what I wanted to do when we went to the Road Rally last week, but it was raining cats and dogs, and I did not want to get drenched going from the tent to the driving course... :p

I also went to the M Class Road Rally last weekend. I drove both the 500 and the 350 on both their auto cross course and proving course multiple times and I came away really liking the the new ML. Although I do agree with previous posts that the looks of ML are questionable.

Being an owner of the 3.0 X5 I must say the ML350 has way more power than the 3.0i X5. In fact I have to say now that I have put about 1,500 miles on my X5 I am really disappointed with the performance. If I had it to do over again I would get the 4.4i, as I find myself shifting my 3.0 step almost constantly (something I have never felt the need to do with any of my previous auto BMWs).


My 2 cents..

It hasn't got a gear lever !!!!!
 

Major omission IMHO :)
