Hallo everybody,

can somebody tell me the difference between B6 688 0122 and B6 688 0123
(this is spare wheel carrier for W163 before 2001 and after.)

Does a B6 688 0122 fit to a car built in 1995?

thank you for qualified answers.

There are two different run flat spare wheel carriers on
http://www.auto-parts.spb.ru/cat/cats/m.mycat?cat=mb&client=dr2000
before and after 2000 up to chassis no. A 50599 and from A50600 or X70000.

So there will be a different fixing geometry because of backdoor design
upgrade.

For all MB models, design upgrading happens after some 5 years of
production. In German, the second series are called "MOPF", from German
"Modellpflege"

Wikipedia knows facelift for MB ML 2001/2002 as follows:

2001 onwards, the M-class is a comprehensive model of care, more than
1,100 components have been updated:

Headlights in clear glass lens with projector-type headlamps
The side indicators are integrated as in other Mercedes models
from the wings in the mirrors.
The exterior mirror turn signals were designed in clear glass
New tail lights look brilliant
New front fascia with fog lamps, clear glass
-> New rear spoiler and new side skirts
Body-colored side moldings
New alloy wheels (instead of 16 "now 17")
-> Depending on the engine hatch and radiator grille with chrome trim
New engines:
ML 500 with 215 kW (292 hp) and 440 Nm
ML 400 CDI with 184 kW (250 hp) and 560 Nm
(Anyone interested in this drive should read them here and
here, then search the Web for much OM628
and then buy something else better in my opinion ...)

This means a spare wheel carrier from W163 before 2001 does not fit to my
Final edition (2005)?
Shit - I bought some.
