BC does.

believe me after driving the X5 the ML will feel like a freaking minivan on blown shocks.

trust me the ML can't close to the x5 in handling and feel.

I've drive the early ML 320 and the the newest ML350. I had hoped they updated/fixed the suspension but nope. Still just as sloppy as before.

I drove the 430 before....even took it off road

That thing was a huge steaming pile of shit once you tried to take it anywhere fun off road. X5 wasn't any better either...I don't even see why they bothered to make them 4wd in the first place because its not like they are even meant to go off road.
