Sorry, but your ML320 will never be hella fast without some serious cash (thousands and thousands).
Your best bet is to upgrade to a 430, 500, or 55!

Performance upgrades on Mercedes are not cheap...

Just like David said, fast costs money, esp. on a Benz.

With so many SUVs out there, and interest rates dropping, your best bet is to upgrade to a ML430 or ML55. You'll get reliability & servicability.

Forced-induction: $3-5K if done right
Performance Engine Rebuild: $10-15K
Engine Swap to V8: $15-25K

Maby different car

Well I have been looking around and I have noticed that I could sell my ML and buy a CLK 320. Would this be a wise decistion? I love speed but I play hockey and I would wonder if space would be an issue.

Sell your ML and find either a 500E, C36, C43 or dare I say it. . . . . a BMW M3 (4-door) or 540i.

Best of luck,

:-) neil

Hey Neil. Whats up man. Tell me are you going to installed a ASR cut off on your car have you given that a thought. I want to on mine. Tell me hows the paint on your E. I did kinda of a experiment. I bought Mother's product called calif gold. I clayed my whole care took me 2-3 hrs then I applied mothers carnuba past wax. Man let me tell you the paint is like glass on my car now. For an investment of $20.00 I cant tell you how smooth it feels. Thats why Im suggesing for you to try it. If you think the paint is worth saving. From your pics I cant really tell to closely.
I hope you do bring the E to the tuner fest. Have all ours lined up.
Im going go karting this week at Dromo 1 in Anaheim with some members and sponsers of the tuner fest. It should be pretty cool.
I'm going to take some pics.



Anyways Guido
