The Mercedes-Benz M-Class is a luxury mid-size sport utility vehicle (SUV), first offered in 1997 as a 1998 model, and built by the German automaker Mercedes-Benz. Gradually, the M-Class became a sales success in the United States and Mexico. In terms of size, it is slotted in between the smaller GLK-Class (based on the C-Class) and the larger GL-Class, with which it shares platforms. For a short time, between the years 1999 to 2002, the M class was also built by Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria, for the European market, until it moved to part of the U.S. market.
The newly redesigned M-class (chassis name W166) was introduced in pre-production form 10 June 2011 as a 2012 model. The first customer-designated W166 rolled off the Tuscaloosa production line on 20 July.[8] It is moderately refined, taking styling cues from the new generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class. An increase in rear seat legroom has been implemented, alongside adjustable rear back-rests. It is due to launch in September of 2011.
New features in the 2012 M-Class include an updated 7G-Tronic seven-speed automatic transmission to provide improved fuel economy, optional Adaptive Cruise Control (Distronic Plus), Active Lane Departure Warning System, and an adjustable-height air suspension (AirMatic).
The redesigned M-class (chassis name W164) was introduced in April 2005 as a 2006 model after a showing at the North American International Auto Show in January. It was almost entirely new, with a more sporting, aerodynamic look—the coefficient of drag is down to 0.34. Mercedes-Benz has also made the new M-Class larger, measuring 150 mm longer than the first model. The M-Class was named "Best New Sport Utility Vehicle" in the 2006 Canadian Car of the Year awards.
Mercedes-Benz extensively publicized the US$600 million spent to update its factory and add manufacturing space for the new R-Class. According to early automotive press reports, the 2006 M-Class vehicles demonstrate vast improvements in quality.
The W164 platform used for the new M-Class is shared with the new GL-Class and is a unibody type rather than the former (W163) body-on-frame used by the M-Class vehicles produced from 1998--2005. The X164 GL-CLass, a longer seven-seater version of the W164 platform, is also available.
New features in the 2006 M-Class include the 7G-Tronic seven-speed automatic transmission, optional Active Curve-Illuminating Bi-Xenon headlights which "steer" in the path of the vehicle, and an adjustable-height air suspension. The manual transmission has been dropped. In most countries except US an Off-Road Pro package with locking on rear and center differential, low-range transmission and adjustable chassis clearance is available as an option.
4-valve engines are replacing the previous 3-valve SOHC V6 and current 3-valve V8:
ML350 -- 3.5 L 4-valve V6, 366Hp(258 ft·lbf)
ML500 -- 5.0 L 3-valve V8, 302HP
ML500 (ML550 for North America) -- 5.5 L 4-valve V8, 382HP(550 N·m)
ML63 AMG -- 6.2 L 4-valve V8, 510HP (370 kW)
ML300 CDI -- 3.0 L V6 Turbo Diesel, 190.4HP (325 ft·lbf)
ML350 CDI -- 3.0 L V6 Turbo Diesel, 224HP (376 ft·lbf)
ML450 CDI -- 4.0 L V8 Diesel, 306HP (700 N·m)
Models using Bluetec Diesel engine with urea injection were introduced in 2008 for the 2009 model year.

This ad was not filmed in US. The streets showing are in Cape Town, South Africa.
Note to self; when getting presents for different people with similar packaging, put them in separate places to avoid all this problem.
