Nice..Do you think the LED headlights are aimed low? I suspect the muct be self leveling? i drove around in Europe in the dark a lot when I picked up the car and never thought there was an issues. Since the car is back here I now noticed it.

Hmmm, I know the high beams can go up or down. I'm not sure if I feel like it's too low or not. I'll have to try and take note next time I'm driving at night. My car is also lower to begin with though, so that might throw me off.

I was at the dealer last week attempting to get a couple of nagging issues dealt with. They fixed the rear sunshade. both the rear upper and lower spoilers have to be replaced and according to the dealer, it's a process. First they have to get the parts shipped in from Germany. Then the spoilers have to go to paint. The I need to plan on a half day for installation.
Snake Doctor, I have recently discovered a couple of minor issues with my E550 and was wondering if you are having something similiar.
My trunk spoiler on hte divers side seems to be lifting up a little bit. I've pushed it down and it poppes back up a littel bit. I also have the spoler on hte top edge of the back window and it's doing the same thing on hte same side.
When I hit the button for the rear window sunshade it makes this cracking noise before it goes up, then it like goes up. It comes down smooth. I noticed it at the factory when I picked it up and thought for sure they would catch it at the VPC when they checked everything out. I'm not sure if it's supposed to do that but I figured if yours does it too, then theres nothing wrong with it. Thanks, Kirk

It actually sounds very tame inside the cabin with the windows up. Go outside, and you know it sounds great. To me, it's loud enough people think, nice V8, but not so loud it annoys my neighbors or anything.

Got the e-mail that the new spoilers are in. When I made the appointment they checked to make sure they were back from paint and everything is good. You were right, didn't take long. Stay tuned.

Anyone tried these?
Kinda cool if they look like that.

Performed the resonator delete on the car (only one, not the secondary bulbs). Very happy with the results. From a cold start, it's pretty loud. Opening the throttle, it's fairly loud. Once you are at a cruising speed and let off the gas, it's relatively quiet. It's so nice, I turn off the ECO mode just so I can hear it at idle. I'll try and get a nice vid here over the next day or two. I'll see if I can't get it on a cold start and also after the car is warmed up.
Paid $140 to get it done.

Hello,
I couldn't understand which resonators you removed in this video, it was n.º 1 or n.º 2 ?

I just removed number 2 main resonator
way too quiete
second video both number 1 second resonator and number 2 removed
and it sounds way better when driving the car loving it
only loud when u hit it hard and nice and and smooth at cruising
was about to buy a used amg exhaust or aftermarket one when I just removed the main resonator ( number 2 ) but after removing both resonator I am happy with the sound and saved $$ and got lots of compliments

curious too, we have a 2016 E550C convertible.... have to look underneath to see if resonators are the same as the coupe...., my wife loves the sound of my 2012 ML63, don't think AMG made a e63 coupe did they ?

I was advised to remove the secondary small resonators and Kat's like every main tuning MB brand does, full downpipe, and keep the main resonator.
Maybe will do that...
