On The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety website they make the following references:
"The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has evaluated the crashworthiness of a 1999 ML 320 with the structural changes in a 40 mph frontal offset crash test into a deformable barrier."
"Mercedes M class models were introduced in the 1998 model year. All M class models manufactured after March 1999 include structural changes to improve occupant protection in frontal crashes."
Does anyone know what the structural changes are and how much safer they are compared to the 1998?
