Does the window sticker show the the DC2 Performance Package with the A22 Active Ride Control as separate listed items? I find it strange that such a significant option is not on the US MBUSA configure site
Did you get both sets of mats? (VGO rubber and V42 AMG carpets)
Thanks
How’s the dark chrome look in person? Looks pretty dark in most pictures I’ve seen. Somewhat reflective, but definitely a nice contrast.
Thanks! It was still covered with plastic on the front bull bars. The tire cover looks good. I’ll find out tomorrow when I pick it up. I’m going to have it ceramic coated tomorrow as well. It was raining and I just got into town when I went over there. The salesman sent me a text with pictures, but I didn’t look at my phone when I was driving. Everyone laughed when I went by the dealership. They said, you can’t stand it and I had to ask if it was delivered. It came with Goodyear tires, my last 2 came with Perelli tires. I’ll have to check if they’re all season. My 21 had summer tires and my 24 had all season tires. I have 4 Perelli winter tires stored at the dealership. I didn’t have them installed last winter.

Thanks, my 21 and 24 had both sets of mats. I did order the performance package. It was raining when I got back from out of town. I’ll let you know tomorrow. They have to PDI it before I can take delivery. It’s still in transport mode. It was raining and I didn’t look at the window sticker. It was still on the windshield. I was also surprised that it wasn’t completely covered like my 24. My 21 wasn’t covered at all. This one had styrofoam on the hood, my 24 was completely covered.

Strange, my 2025 G580 arrived to the dealership uncovered.

My window sticker shows DC2 AMG Performance Packge (sp) at $4,400 but does not break it down into components whereas my spec sheet showed A22 as one of the components.
The more I see the dark chrome the more I like it. Good to see it against a magno paint as well.
Looks like Pirelli and Goodyear are both OEM options for the 22’s. Both summer tires. The Goodyear has a much worse tread wear rating though. 260 versus 420. Both around $500 a pop.

In 2024 the RG4 wheel option was R02 with all season tires so will have to pick up something different for the winter in MD.

my 24 with 22” wheels came with all season Perelli’s.
my 21 came with Perelli summer tires with 22 inch wheels. I have a set of four winter, Perelli tires that are being stored at the dealership. I didn’t have the winter tires installed on the 24 because it came with all season tires and we didn’t have much snow.

I know for the G580, under the specs, it lists it comes with summer times - which seems weird. All-weather would make more sense. For the Porsche Taycan build, I was able to select all-weather vs. summer.

Hmm my understanding is all OEM 22 inch tires are always summer. The pirelli line is typically all seasons but the ones that come with the G63 are summer only, at least according to tire rack.
The 21” OEM tires are all season as are the 20” that come with the trail package rims.

The dealership said on my 21 the 22 inch Perelli‘s were summer tires and on my 24 with 22 inch wheels. They said they were all seasoned tires. I would rather have the 22 inch Michelin all season tires. I’m disappointed that it came with Goodyear tires. I’m supposed to trade every year, so it shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll probably have my winter tires mounted for this winter.

Confirmed by the service manager, the Goodyear tires are summer tires 22”. I have 4 winter Perelli tires stored at the dealership.

I took a picture of the window sticker for you. Yes, it came with both sets of mats and and extra rubber mat for the cargo area. I put my cargo liner on top of the rubber mat.
Haha love the fact you drove it out the dealership with the window sticker still in place.
yeah, I didn’t have them wash it. Derek came over and washed it and applied 3 coats of ceramic. He wasn’t pleased that they didn’t remove the window sticker from the windshield. I waited all day for them to do the PDI. There was some grease or hydraulic fluid on the rear bumper. Luckily, he was able to get it off. It should have been completely covered like my 24 was.
Yes will have my guy go over mine once it comes in as well. Need to research how to care for magno paint as this will be my first time with a matte finish.
