I’ll be exchanging it for an EV SUV, either a Volvo EX 90, or the Lucid Gravity, later this year.
It’s been interesting to follow the diesel forum…
Same experience with the ‘14 GL350. Had the AEM completed in 2021 and zero issues since, other than a rear suspension airbag which is a wear item on all GL’s with over 100k miles.

And I’m in Minnesota with frigid winters and hot summers.

Twins at birth. My airbags went at ~ 90,000 miles. I hope the resale/trade-in value is reasonable later this year.

Has the body held up well to cold winters and salty roads ?

When I lived in Vermont, the cars were damaged significantly.

Drove it to the dealer turned out to be a DEF heather ( the DEF level was not low). The dealer changed the heating element free of charge.
One thing I noticed after the AEM , there is a very strong smell from the exhaust. It was not anything like that before, its so bad I though that there was a exhaust leak some were, but was assured there was no leaks.
Have someone else noticed bad exhaust smell after the AEM??
My exhaust smell was terrible, took it back and the assured me it wasn't and all it was was a smell from the new parts? I kept an eye on it and began to see soot in the engine bay. The had broken the flange bolt going to the turbo and the gasket had slid out. They did repair it after I had to show it to them. Honestly this car has been back 4 time and i continue to get the runaround. I hasn't regened properly since the update and now consumes a ton of oil that it didn't before the update
