They are options. On MY05 500 it goes like this (this is copied directly from MBUSA's options page for the ML500:
2005 Packages 317 Comfort Package Interior features include three-position memory system for each front seat and exterior mirror memory stored with driver seat settings. Exterior features include power fold-in for outside mirrors and rain-sensing intermittent front wipers with a sensor that adjusts the windshield wiper delay for you. 324 Sunroof Package The optional Sunroof Package includes a power tilt/sliding tinted glass sunroof and power rear-quarter vent windows with dash-mounted remote controls. The heated seat is standard in the 500. Go to MBUSA.com and configure one to see al the options and accessories. |

Wild price ranges
I think I've settled on a 2002 ML500. The prices I see are wild. From 22k to 44k. I also saw one on autotrader that was a light front hit for 13k but I'm not into that kind of thing anymore. I should check to see if it's salvaged.
What's the deal with the filler neck? I haven't had any problems on my loaner but I see a lot of people complaining about it.

About the fuel filler neck: on my MY02, the angle was so steep that it was very difficult to insert the fuel nozzle when filing up. It was even more difficult to take it out - very odd. On my MY05, it's not like that at all - it's normal. My guess is that the cnahged something between 02 and 05 to fix this annoyance. |

This list worries me: steering hose, radiator hose, door switches, sunroof, steering rack, ETS/ABS/ESP Yikes.

My advice for squeeling ML brakes; The new pads have to be "bedded" or broken in (first few miles of driving) by VERY heavy brake applications. Almost like repeated panic stops, extremely hard braking. What you would normally consider to be "a hard stop" is not enough for these huge brakes and you'll glaze the pads during the bedding process. squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllll
