no you dont, i think that upgrade i mentioned is about 4k. The tributo 695 edition has 180 bhp and some fancy badges, the thing i love about it is that it is yellow.

I dont like tuning italian engines, id like to buy them and keep as they are....its a question of how much power you want in a little car....anything more than 180 bhp id say save your money woth all this 30k rubbish and get a GTV for 5k and 220bhp

i dont know dem, a 10 year old GTV i wouldn't buy, an abarth is only up to 3 years old but obviously more expensive. I am not sure why you say anything with more than 180 bhp is a waste, a mini cooper s jcw with 210 bhp is one of the biggest laughs you will have in a car.

Dem, its a terrible car based on a van.....Don't even think about it... A standard X5 is a far nicer drive.....ML is just rubbish.

The ML is no where near as good as the BMW X5, it never will be, the first ML was probably one of the worst cars to come from Germany.

The ML always seems a generation behind it's rivals. Look how many you see compared to X5's and Q7's, you never see ML's on the road.
