The reason for the “slow gearbox” effect is because on manual mode you stepped off the gas pedal so the gearbox got confused.. keep flooring it in manual mode and shifts will become faster and more aggressive.
Hey mate! So I did do that before and it was just bouncing off the limiter. The gear changes were quick I just found the response from the shifters very slow, it was rather strange! Thank you so much for watching 😄😄😄
Haha I'm glad someone agrees! I just posted the X5M video and you can see how many M symbols there are all over the interior and exterior! Thank you so much for watching 😄
Fortunate enough to have one of these beautiful beasts Had a few Mercedes now , but this one , is Very much a keeper! I enjoy it so much , it makes me forget about the fuel consumption 👍🏻
Jay, it is probably one of my most favourite SUV's I've ever driven, if I could've I would've bought this one in particular because it was so well kept! Anyways thank you so much for watching 😄😄 Feel free to get in touch on insta or fb - @sergcarreviews

All good mate I don’t blame you for staying off Instagram 😄 If you have Facebook I have a group there for the community too 😊 And no way!! I hope you keep it that way even though it might hurt taking it to Merc 😜😂

X5 and ml transmission are completely different. X5 it’s more superior in gearbox. Even in day to day x5 the shifts are more instant and comfortable. The ml takes forever to downshift or upshift
Hey Ricky the previous had only good things to say about it and when we sold it the new owner only had good things to say too! They are great engines! Thank you so much for watching!!
Hey mate! Firstly thank you so much for watching! So when I was doing the research on it, all the Australian review and spec websites said it was a DCT. According to you and about 10 other comments turn out they were all wrong 😂
Man something about this gen of Benz that just does it for me. Better looking than the new GLE’s imo. This thing is a monster of a grocery getter! 😂 Appreciate you pushing it up the mountain bro! Get to hear those sweet TT V8 exhaust notes, music to my ears
Hey mate! Thanks so much for watching the video!! 😄 This car was actually covered in a Matte Grey finish, not sure the name for it though!! Have a good one!! 👌😊
I tested a x5m and X6M. The ML63AMG is more comfortable ride in my opinion. However, the BMW I listed are more track focus. I haven't had the opportunity to test drive a GTS.
I have an 2014 ML63 with Weistec ECU and TCU tune. Also deleted the resonator. It's a beast.
Mate that would be a machine!! If you have instagram send me some videos!! 😄 Same name on insta!
Omg that sounds insane, 0 to 60 how much if u see this?

Having the suspension in sport plus you will notice a difference. The ML63AMG is a luxury sport vehicle.

What a beast! I seen a dutch plate ML63 amg 2 days ago...
Mate they're the best 😄
I agree, manual gear changes are atrocious.. really lets it down in that regard.. but as for everything else it’s incredible..
I have the same ML 2012 model 3.5 petrol, let me tell ya it turns heads 🔥 I bought it at 28 now turning 30 💪🏼 an absolute beast
You can adjust the bolsters in the menu.
That sound though 😩
Definitely agree with this one lmao
Bahah bro it was literally the best 🤤 Have you watched the X5M yet? That sound didn't roar like this but man was it loud 😳
How reliable is this? Like compared to an E350? It's depreciating more than an E63 despite of same M157 engine...

Literally the only word I can describe this car... dirty. 😂
@@SergCarReviews Ha! Ha! Right on.
@@DLPTonyATL The best one is at 5,000 from 4th to 5th. Wooof indeed.
Is it reability the M-157?
It is not a dual clutch transmission. It is an automatic transmission with a wet clutch set up

I own a 2014 ml 63 and without offending no one you don't know how to drive it My shift in manual is super fast close to double clutch transmission
Hey mate! Thanks so much for watching 😄 I agree the shifts are super quick but the shifters have a delay in response (in the one I drove anyway)
Shifts are fast but you have to anticipate the delay on manual shift paddles.
great 👍
Thanks so much for watching mate 😄 See you on the next one 😄
They are good performance value atm
Agreed!

You are welcome 😜😜 Man it is still to this day my favourite SUV, I absolutely love it!!
My only issue is delay on gas pedal when turning or when rolling stop which I hope it goes away with a stage 1 tune
How much HP will a stage one tune give??
@@SergCarReviewsaround 660hp

Would u go this or the bmwx5m??
I actually have a review on the x5m. Have a watch 😄 and once you do... my answer is below.
.
.

The Merc
I think the 2016 BMW X5M is more intelligent than the ML63
If this AMG is the same model year as the X5M, then the BMW is better - all around. 👍
Probably one I would disagree with all in because of ride comfort! The Mercedes is so much nicer to drive. 😊
I tested a x5m and X6M. The ML63AMG is more comfortable ride in my opinion. However, the BMW I listed are more track focus.
I haven't had the opportunity to test drive a GTS.
How tall are you? 5'5"?
