I read in USA that you cannot order just the spoiler as an option on non-edition 1 cars but I really prefer the look.

Anyone able to order the part and install 3rd party?

Something about the electronic spoiler always raised looks funny to me.

I'm sure there is a part number with MB for repair or replacement reasons. I don't think there is one via aftermarket but there are tuning brands like Brabus that have wings.

The issue with getting one on a non Edition car is the electronic spoiler- you will need to have software to defeat it.

i have my red GTS coming today! couldn't wait i'm going to take the new car depreciation hit but i did get 5k off MSRP

i read you tuned yours Vic what company, how much, and is it reversible?

i liked the idea of the PEC piggyback module that can be easily removed and everything is back to stock

Vic55

First off- FINALLY!!!!!!!! and good job with the 5k off as well. Did you test drive this exact car or a different one prior?

ECUwise I went with Weistec (non piggy) and have a thread here that you can search for. Its (ECU) easily reversible and updatable too. I have tried a few different tunes out where the tq limits were raised and capped just for driveability reasons. The gains are enormous via the sweet spot ranges in rpm's. I believe my gains in the usable ranges were 110hp and 134tq... the car is that much better. The updates take about 20 min from removal to reinstall of the ECU. Fortunately Weistec is 10 miles from me so I just drive there vs an overnight process. But the tune is safe with many metrics and measurements in play to ensure via data logging- the piggy will just bump your boost but you need to do more than just that to be safe.

Congrats

So you paid nearly msrp ... Didn't want to wait for it to float to $100k, can't blame you, you will love it, drive it in good health

test drove an edition 1, they didn't have the dynamic package and my red non-edition1 doesn't either

personally i absolutely hate alcantara/dynamica. i got full nappa red pepper exclusive

Alcantara is very hit or miss--- I have it in the ED1 of course, my Lambo, and C63 BS while the FF has the supple stuff along with the R8. I like either or.

Post pics when you acquire.

With current auction prices holding strong in the high 130's (135k to 138k) its gonna be a bit to 100k IMHO. Meanwhile the S63 coupe with its 185k plus sticker drops to 135k after just 1k miles at Manheim.

no one was discounting more for a new car, and the used ones didn't have the color combos i wanted

unpollo2

mine also came with the 4500 upgraded stereo which i think is a complete waste but i might end up selling it to some baller so we'll see

such a fun car to drive! so been driving a lot and just noticed a little sticker in top left windshield. it says running-in period 1000 miles no max boost, no kickdowns, max speed 85...

ooops!

Vic55

You can order the wing through any Mercedes parts department but you will need to have an Edition 1 VIN.
