@mystery man was the badge shown? Why specifically 270 CDI?

@dhill_cb7/walter: Off course, the badge was visble, not sure why I don't provide a thumb.
Usually I'm not guessing, just reading or knowing.

Thanks mystery man. Sorry for ruffling feathers here on the badge issue. I know I tend to ask why a certain model or motor but I'm not certain all admins do that? I was afraid of ninja editing. Sorry to be a burden :(

Edit: removing built in the USA. We have some 2002 models that were built in Graz. Without a VIN this is a moot point.

@dhill_cb7 I'm not sure how trustworthy forum comments are, but they are contemporary.

Quote Die ML500/ML55 stammen alle aus Vance in Alabama. [...]
Alle ML400CDI und eine sehr grosser Teil der 270er Schalter werden in Graz gefertigt. [...]
Die letzten Modelljahre des 163ers werden beginnend mit MJ2003 ausschliesslich in den USA produziert.

-> All ML500 and 55 AMG were made in the US, all 400CDI and most 270 CDI manuals were made in Graz, all ML for MY 2003-05 were made in the US as well.

Quote Das mit den ML400CDI stimmt jetzt nur mehr bedingt ("alle aus Graz"), da man in USA bereits "übt". Die "Exclusive" Kunden für den CDI bekommen aber alle einen österreichischen [...]

Some 2002 diesels were probationary made in the US, except the 2002 only 'Exclusive' models, that were all made in Austria.

Beautiful find! This is extremely helpful! Translations aren't always clear cut.

To confirm.

ML 500 & 55 AMG -> US Built?
ML 230 & 320 & 430 -> Graz or US built?
ML 270 CDI - > US or Graz?
ML 400 CDI - > Graz?

Yes, you got it.

ML400 CDI pre-02 Graz only, 2002 Graz or US, 2003-05 US only.

I can make the adjustments to confirmed examples (badges without VINs). I don't think there are too many that antp has to do them.

55 AMGs done.
