Kundenwunsch

Anyone else pursuing custom paint through the Kundenwunsch program?

My build was approved and should be produced in late January '25. Pumped!

More details would be awesome, keeping your spec a secret?

My SA had no idea of this program.. familiar with Ferrari's Tailor Made, Porsche Exclusive, so very curious to see Benz implementation and experience

My dealer helped me request a non-MB color (will keep the color a secret for now, hah). There's a liaison at MB that interfaces with the Kundenwunsch team in Germany for approval. That part only took a few weeks or so. I didn't push the envelope any further (didn't request custom stitching or anything like that) but I believe you can.

Really excited that MB has this option now. Like you said, akin to Porsche's CXX program, Ferrari's program, etc.

I know this was available for the Stuttgart manufactured S-Class and GT and SL cars but the G-class which is manufactured in Austria was exclusively excluded from this program in the USA. Is your custom G-class order in the USA?

Wow super excited to see what color you chose, especially since I'd say Benz's color offerings for the G wagon are already expansive... so you had a color you really wanted or couldn't find!

Either way congrats, you gotta be one of the first to do this around these parts. If MB is going down this road, wonder how far the envelope will be pushed since there are already so many good interior and exterior color choices

The biggest thing I want is a "heritage pack" like the old G wagons with the patterned cloth inserts, headlight grills, Porsche does this for the 911s, I bet Benz will also soon for the $$$

That's great news--something to consider in the future. Looking forward to seeing what you pick.

I was considering going this route for a custom colour but fell in love with China Blue when I saw it in person.

I posted this in some other discussion, but for those curious here is an example of the program in Galactic Beam:
