The ML comes in three generations: the W163 (1997–2003), the W164 (2005–2011, facelift 2008), and the W166 (2012–2019, facelift 2015). Stalks are generally interchangeable within a generation, but you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying, especially if you're crossing a facelift year.
The W164 ML was facelifted in 2008, and there can be differences in the stalk design and steering column connector across that boundary. Within each phase the parts often interchange, but whether a pre-2008 stalk works on a post-2008 car is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration.
These are separate generations — the W163 ran from 1997 to 2003 and the W164 from 2005 to 2011 — and the steering column and stalk assemblies changed significantly between them. Cross-generation fitment is unlikely, but confirm with the breaker against your registration to be certain.
For the ML, trim level does not affect indicator stalk fitment — the stalk is determined by generation and facelift phase, not by whether the car is SE, Sport, or another trim. You may find minor cosmetic differences such as finish or paddle-shift controls on higher trims, so mention your exact spec to the breaker to make sure you get a matching part.
The W166 ML was facelifted in 2015, so a 2012 stalk and a 2016 stalk sit on opposite sides of that boundary. Parts within each phase typically interchange, but whether the pre-facelift stalk works on a post-2015 car is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration.
Mercedes used shared platforms across some models — the W164 ML shared its platform with the X164 GL, for example — and stalks can sometimes cross over. However, whether a specific stalk from a GL or GLE will plug straight into your ML is not something to assume, so ask the breaker to check compatibility against your registration before committing.
