A few pics of my ML320CDI in the snow...
It just started snowing here again after a hiatus of the white stuff for a few weeks. With my dSLR already in the truck, I thought that I'd take the opportunity to snap a few pictures before I (and my camera!) got too wet!
For those of you who have been requesting pics, please note the chrome foglamp trim, chrome window trim, as well as the LED taillamps. Oh and those are the 18" wheels from the GL450.
As far as the ride height, the pictures were taken in Airmatic Sport mode. But note that my Airmatic has been set to about 0.75 to 1.5 inches lower than the factory settings. The rear has also been adjusted to level out with the front. I couldn't stand the pitched forward look, especially as there is no reason for the rear to be higher with Airmatic autoleveling the vehicle in the case of heavy loads in the cargo area!

It's actually quite dirty right now, heh. The dealer washed it on Monday when I went in for Service A. As far as offroading though, absolutely not as the tires are completely unsuitable for it.

There are lowering modules out there by various companies.
However in my case, I just had the base height reset to something a little lower than stock, mostly to even out the rear end with the front. Nothing too drastic like what the lowering modules can do (which go even lower!).
