Hey guys,
I was in the dealer last week getting trans flushed on my 07 and did some strolling around the showroom and saw a new 63 on the floor there. Noticed immediately that it appeared to sit much lower than mine. Looked actually more aggressive I thought just sitting there than mine does. I keep mine just in sport setting all the time for suspension and shifting but mine does not look like that just sitting there.

interesting, good question to ask at the next AMG Private Lounge Q&A!

Yep. Your 07 sits the highest of the W164's. 2007-10 is and inch and a half lower than the 07's. The 14 is about 4 inches lower than the 07.

thanks, I knew I wasn't imagining that

Also take into account, if the car has been sitting for a while, and not turned on or moved, it lowers down.

My E63 & ML63 do that if they sit for about a week +.
As soon as the car is started, rises back to normal.

My '13 ML63 lowers as soon as I lock the doors with the car off.

That's pretty sweet- is that an option?

AMG893

Yep, my 2009 does too.

But i mean, if you leave it for like over a week sitting there, it will tucks down.

Here is a pic- ML was sitting for only about 3 days in this pic.

I'll check mine when I get home, but I haven't noticed this. Mine has been parked for about a month now - just haven't been driving it lately.

I'd take it for a nice short spirited run up the block and back if I was you :-)

So I checked when I got home from work - mine doesn't tuck after sitting for a while. It's the same height as when initially parked. Must be a W164 thing...

I've been too busy having fun with my latest toy - the F-type - that I've been ignoring my other cars

The W166's are lower. Tucked down or not.

Mine is an 08 and sometimes sits parked for 2 maybe 3 weeks before I drive it. I've never seen it lower that much at all. It settles after being locked maybe a centimeter but never more than that.

You sure that you dont have a small leak somewhere in your suspension?
