Delimited at BMW M in Garching, including drivers training and full BMW warranty, but ONLY to 305 km/h just because of the tires!

Some people get it right from the start... ... even if some others don?t think so

I?m withdrawing from this case now. Bye bye....
Me too...bye now...

well, is it a good time to say that i agree with you , once the competition has scurried off

Im a fan of powerful SUVs, but definitely not a big fan on their poor mileage

Four pages of discussion, and still no answer to the original poster's question.

The 3/06 issue of Motor Trend reports that it is "priced near $70K".
The link below provides a few details on the engine (as well as a few pictures) and states the ML63 AMG is expected in Spring '06 in the US.

Thnx centurion its been hard to get to the point. I have heard nothing so far concerning about the release date in Europe but as far as price is concerned it would definitely be a lot more expensive over here. I expect something in the 90-100 000 euro range :thumbsdown:

Your welcome.
I'll have to admit, the ML in AMG trim looks so much better than the base model. The extra horses under the hood is just a bonus.
