Ordered AMG GLE 63 S Coupe
Picked up my obsidian black on black GLE 63 S coupe a few days ago and it is an amazing vehicle! I ordered it with every option other than trailer hitch as well. My favorite option is the performance exhaust by far. The Bang & Olfusen is a nice option and the front side speakers/tweeters look awesome lit up, but that exhaust note, wow! I cannot wait after the 1000 mile break in period and an oil change to let it rip. The exhaust note in comfort mode is even incredible. This beast just moves. You made a great vehicle choice and you will be on cloud 9.

Congrats. Is the 1k mile oil change the official recommendation? I just went over 1k in the E63.

I can't wait until I hit the 1k mark! It's going straight for tuning! I'm not to sure about the oil change right after the 1k mark they didn't tell me anything about that. But t sounds like it wouldn't hurt!

1000 mile oil change not mentioned by dealership, but read a lot on AMG posts that it is a good idea after engine break in due to any possible impurities. I would do this as prevention in case you plan on keeping the car for a longer period of time.

Illuminated Star on the GLE 63

Cannot get the illuminated star with distronic. So I opted for distronic and will probably get chrome wheels rather than white painted rims

Black 14 E 63S
Just picked mine up the week past.

Diamond White with the black wheels (22"). Has every option except the Bang Olufsen System, and the illuminated Star.

No pics yet. The whether (North East) and lack of time won't permit.

Loving every min. of it so far, except the sort of hard ride on bumpy streets. Only have about 175 miles on her so far. I'm early in the game.

Changed the color of the GLE from Poplar White to Iridium Silver Metallic so the rails and running boards would match the silver. Will go with 21" chromes.

Any suggestions on the chromies would be appreciated.

Thanks

Al

Happy New Year and Happy MB motoring

Follow up:

Went to the Stealer ship today to get my plates. Had a short run on the highway, and was doing 105 and it felt like I was doing 60. if it wasn't for the exhaust gargling and screaming when I was down shifting, I would not have know or even looked at the speedometer.

Have you ever ran real chrome plated wheels before? The finish is more fragile and makes the wheel porous and structurally weaker.

GLE 63S AMG
Hi guys
New to this forum
Ive got a 3 month old GLE 63s, and it's on another planet!

Literally awesome!

The sound that this thing makes it's ridiculous

I wanted to ask a couple of questions.
First was, does anyone know of any places that have other exhaust options?
And secondly would anyone recommend re mapping it?

Thank you

Do you have the Performance Exhaust option? I'm trying to decide if I can live without it as some of the new ones I'm looking at do not have that factory option.

So you took delivery and then removed the standard exhaust and added the factory performance exhaust? How much did that cost.

Exactly....I think I paid $1,700 to get it from Germany through a dealer in AZ and then my guy charged me $400 for the install.

WOW! Sounds like a daunting install since the PE has an electronically controlled valve system.

I found a GLE63 I like but doesn't have the PE so I hope I can live without it.
