i would like to share with you my experiences with my 09 ml and 12 x5 that i recently got. i would like to start off with the reason why i got the ml in the first place at the time was really the incentives that merc was willing to throw in - they weren't generous enough to include the 3 yr complimentary maintenance though. In any regards, my merc sat on 20" rims through the appearance pkg and it rode very comfortably. Here are my thoughts and highlights:
cons:
power from h/p (268) to torque is lagging behind competitors like BMW's X5. hated the acceleration.
options (p1 & p2) are pricey where as an X5 would include most in not all through their convenience pkg.
steering was too soft for an aggressive driver like myself.
very archaic technology (pre-2011 models)
pros:
the ride is awesome - may be the 20" rim factor
plows through snow and heavy rain without any concern whatsoever
driver and passenger side seats are nice and thick
BMW's X5 - My comments are strictly my experiences with the two trucks. the main reason for me to trade in my 09 ml was my displeasure in the power and torque in addition to some nice incentives BMW was honoring at the time of the purchase.
cons:
not a true fan of the split trunk door
front driver and passenger seats aren't as comfortable as MERC in that those tend to let you feel sitting in a bucket than not
DVD console isn't designed with the intent for children (at least that's how I feel)
pros:
very powerful with h/p (300) and torque (300)
complimentary 4yr service
intuitive system navigation through its idrive
steering is very compelling to make me more obedient to the road
smaller gas tank than the 09 ml and better gas mileage when comparing them two
I haven't seen snow yet so no comments on how it works through snow but heavy rain wasn't a concern. I haven't taken it off roading either so I'll leave that for some other forum users to comment on that.
I've owned my ml for two years and only driven it for 5k miles so not a lot of driving and may be too subjective to my driving time so do take that into consideration. Though once I trade it in for the X5 (albeit a newer modeled year SAV), I was like in heaven. I hope this helps and give you some insights into your buying decisions. Again I would like to stress that the 12 ml may be better and you may have to do some other cross comparisons for a fairer comparison.
Does your price include the incentives such as Fleet and competitor incentive?
Thanks a bunch!
Good Luck
PS I had my 2012 ML350 Bluetech for a month and a half, best truck i have ever owned!!!

There is a really good explanation of how the fleet discount works.... It looks like you still have to negotiate your best deal.. then, they discount the car a further set amount..

Lease is 549 Plus Tax and license for P1 package. Total $610 per month plus last month and security deposit for 30 month lease. This is if you have current lease with MB financial. They send out letter to trade in the lease early by 12/31/2011 for a new ML.
They are pushing hard to make sales. This is in Northern Ca.
The car i liked was BlueTec ML 350.
Black,P1, Lane Tracking Package, Rear seat Entertainment prewire, Wood/LeatherMultifunction Steering Wheel, Keyless-GO
Total MSRP $57,565
I will be trading my Audi and was told Conquest is only $1,000
They agree to sell for $54,000-$1,000.
Any thoughts about this deal???

Thank You.
BlueTec + S01 Package: Auto-Dimming/Power-Folding + Wood / Leather Steering Wheel + Rear Seat Entertainment Pre-wiring + KEYLESS-GO = MSRP $56,045 (including destination). Got it for $48,545.
Picking up the car in few days. (waiting for the dealer to install the running boards). I can give the dealer info once I pick up the car. The dealership is on the North Eastern region.
Thanks

Picked up the car last weekend. Absolutely love the car. The name of the dealership is MB of West Chester, PA. I got close to 8k off msrp. Please note that the sale was finalized in Jan.
Thanks!
It's great to see everyone here sharing experience on the ML350. I just bought a new one this weekend and the price I paid was $52,000 (out of door). The MSRP is $53465 including destination charge. This car is black, P01 package. Nothing else special.
Is this a good deal?
Thanks,

1. Option 1 package
2. Lane tracking package
3. Panorama sun roof.
4. Trailer Hitch.
5. DVD entertainment system package
6. Aluminium brushed boards
Is this good deal, please advise. If not, what is the good price for the above options?
Also is it true that there's a tax on rebate? and is there a way to negotiate the contract to exclude the disposition fee? Such a scam by many companies forcing you to buy or lease another vehicle.
What was the MSRP? Can you post the dealer name?
