Options Explained: 2014 Mercedes ML 350 Options – Option Packages for the ML 350 and ML 350 BlueTEC Diesel

This article is meant to assist potential buyers of used or Certified Pre Owned (if buying from a franchised Mercedes-Benz dealer) 2014 Mercedes Benz ML 350 and ML 350 BlueTEC diesel SUVs by clearly laying out the options available on these vehicles when new, their pricing (when available) and how M class vehicles may have come equipped from the factory when new.

Mercedes-Benz, like many automotive manufacturers, offers a lot of different options and cars can be equipped in many different ways, this article should help make sense of them.

2014-Mercedes-ML350-ExteriorThe 2014 Mercedes Benz ML 350 body style is the same as the 2012 and 2013 models, most of the available options are the same too, with some minor variations. This body style is considered the 3rd generation M class mid-sized SUV from Mercedes-Benz. 2012 was the big redesign which included a new body style as well as a new gasoline and dieselV6 engine incorporating direct injection technology and more horsepower than previous M class models.

Basic, no charge items:

Paint: Non-metallic paint was no charge (black and white were the only non metallic colors available)
Wheels: Standard wheel was a 19” 5 spoke wheel (photo below)
Interior: MB Tex was the standard interior material, several leather options were available

Base price of a 2014 Mercedes Benz ML 350 4matic was $50,290, additionally, all examples had a destination and delivery charge on their window sticker of $925. Add to that various option packages Mercedes might add to each car and actual sticker prices easily averaged $60,000+.

If you’re considering the purchase of a 2014 M class SUV (or any other model for that matter) at a franchised Mercedes dealer you can ask them to print a copy of the ‘Original Window Sticker’ / original equipment option list. In many cases, especially with vehicles that  are just a few years old, the original window sticker may be folded up inside the case that holds the owner’s manual and other books. If not, it can be printed from the Mercedes-Benz computer system installed at all dealerships using the VIN number. This way, you can look down the list of options, see the original price of the vehicle when new and see all the equipment it came with rather than trying to look over the car to figure out what equipment it has.

With the sports pkg +1 on the 2014 350 ML :
Is the suspension different or altered so as to provide more road handling ability or if not is their more road handling ability with that pkg than without it?
If there is a difference in road handling What factors create it other than the amg 20” wheels.
Are the bolsters on the front seats bigger with the above mentioned sports pkg or for any other reason such as choosing the faux suede Uphostery ?
The vin # on the 2014 350 in question is 4JGA5HB4EA278205
Does the rear seat have a pass through?

Hi Ben, Good questions. The Sport Package Plus one is simply a ‘sport’ appearance package only… ZERO handling upgrades or changes.
The 20″ AMG wheels will create a different ride that one may interpret as ‘more sporty’ but really it will just have a harder, harsher ride with a slimmer sidewall.
I don’t think there is any change in the seats… maybe in the stitch pattern or panels, but they’re not building a ‘sport seat’ with taller bolsters to be more supportive in a car with the ‘sport package’ like you see in AMG cars.. or say, an air cooled Porsche 911 from the 80s.
No rear seat pass through… it has 40/60 fold down rear seats.
Sounds like you may be familiar with Porsches or BMWs… when they make ‘sport packages’ they mean more than good looks, usually… no so with Mercedes, in most cases.

  • Tech Tip: When checking for originality on a 560 SL (or most any other Mercedes) pull up the lip of the trunk seal, right by the lock, and look for a date... month and year... if it’s close to the build date found on the VIN plate on the driver’s door jamb, you’ve got an original trunk seal from the factory. It’s the little things. This is a 1987 560 SL with a build date of “3/87”... so a seal from February makes sense. . . . #mercedesmarket #mercedes-market #tobinmotorworks #mercedesR107 #mercedes560SL #panzerwagen #mbclassic #mercedesyoungclassic #youngclassic #mbca #concourscondition #mbofinstagram #mercedesgang
