E450 Air Body Control

Did anyone else order or consider Air Body Control. If so, any experience with ABC on the E450?

E450 Coupe
I'm having an E450 Coupe being built and decided to add the ABC as an option. One salesman told me it makes the E drive like an S class. Others said it was definitely worth the price, although one cautioned that it is prone to reliability issues. Motor Trend said it's the best $1,900 a car buyer can spend on any option. That was enough to convince me. I'd be curious what others have to say who actually have it.

We just ordered a 2022 E450 Convertible with the Air Body Control. I had it way back on a 2010 E550 and loved the way it handled.

I have a 2019 E450 coupe with the ABC and 18" wheels and it's definitely the best riding vehicle I've ever owned in terms of smoothness and ability to glide over bumps. Coming from several Porsche models (including a Macan GTS with air suspension) it isn't as composed and I can sometimes feel a little rebound happening with the rear of the car but otherwise it's extremely smooth and comfortable.
