New 2025 G63 picked up Saturday 10/30. After owning a 21 and 23, this 25 with upgrades such as touch screen, performance package, suspension, wheels etc, is very welcoming, such a huge improvement.
Curious did your wife spec the car or did you? Wonder if women care as much as guys do about all the packages options etc.
She & I both sat with sales and went thru it multiple times which was a learning curve for all of us including sales rep since this year had some changes. Her 21 was polar white and 23 metalic white and she chose the exterior color this time which is a big change for both of us we are both conservative. This time I wanted a more colorful exterior and she was having no part of that so I let her choose. I was able to persuade her in getting the performance package and tech gold wheels and she loves the look and ride which is a game changer to her. She picked the same interior brown that her 23 was as she felt it best hauling our daughter and friends around in regards to upkeep, I wanted the white/ivory seats but I agreed that the brown was better for those after practices and volleyball games. I just say happy wife happy life!
Interesting that it is a $0.0 cost option on the E Class.
That really doesn’t surprise me that from vehicle to vehicle some items are standard and some with charges. During initial sit down, I remember us all going thru the options then to find out that some of those options come with a certain package that includes certain items. I’m more of selecting a vehicle and adding items we desire but we learned quickly that ordering a vehicle these days is not like dining at a nice restaurant with choosing Al a cart sides….

Very nice car, congrats! I wished I had a knowledgeable sales rep when doing the build. Totally overlooked the performance package...kudos to you for making her get it.
Congrats.
Where did you find your phone mount?
looking everywhere for one that clips there and that does not hide the screen.
Been using this (2) part mount from proclip since her 1st 2021 G63, just keep moving each time. You must start at the far left or right near the vents and slide on left or right to engage the upper and lower crease till you find the sweet spot. Very secure and tight fit and the only one that we found that works that doesn’t block the screen. This works better than eliminating a cup holder type or the other option near the passenger grab handle that just seems out of reach and a distraction from the road ahead.
Here to say I love the stock Manufactur Techgold Wheels!
They are beautiful but I will need to ceramic coat the wheels as MB has addressed the brake pad dust! I know others have mentioned Mr Beasley could someone recommend a ceramic coat product?

What do you use this for since it has CarPlay? We have a 2024 and put the phone in the center storage compartment with a MagSafe charger. We have a bluetooth/wifi dongle that's connected to the other USB port. So we wirelessly connect to Apple CarPlay and charge the phone, utilizing both USB ports.
Looking at this photo, it looks like each shock has an independent, self contained hydraulic fluid system for the active ride control? This would be much better than on my SL500 which had tubes running around the entire vehicle connecting the four shocks into one system. This was prone to leak and I've had nothing but problems. Four separate self contained units would be much better.

Honestly, wife wanted a phone holder, so wife gets a phone holder…happy wife happy life..
I’m having a problem, I can’t get online with my phone while I’m connected to my vehicle, can’t reply to a text, can’t turn off my home alarm system until I turn off WiFi on my phone. When I turn WiFi off, I receive a message saying I won’t be able to use car play. I’ve called Mercedes Benz and they were useless. I’m waiting to hear back from the dealership. I can receive calls and text, just can’t reply to them. Mercedes Benz said, maybe I need to call T Mobile or AT&T to sign up for WiFi service. The dealership said Mercedes did away with WiFi about 6 months ago.
They figured it out at the dealership.
