We have just acquired a 10 months old ML 350 in dark blue. Being our first mercedes, and coming from many years in Land Rovers, I must say that this is a very nice change indeed.
On a more down to earth and practical subject, the owner's manual mentions that the engine temperature may go up to 100 c in hard working situations, which you will all agree sounds rather hot!!! our ML so far has been running a bit above 80 (on the instrument cluster readout) which shows as a couple of degrees above the "horizontal" position either sitting in traffic or running at 85 on the motorway. I assume that this is a normal operating temperature for the 112 engine but any comments from the more ML/ 112 experienced owners will be most welcomed.

Regards,

Luc
