Power output of "run-of-the-mill" luxury V8s are getting to high 300s and low 400s. While 408hp is at the upper end of that spectrum, it's not enough to justify an M for a vehicle that has a V8 option already.

The ML63 has 500+hp, so my guess is an M, if one shows up, will likely get the V10 from the M5/M6.
