Lowering It -

So I was wondering if there is a way to lower the car some more using the already installed switches. I know you can raise but when you bring it back down, can you bring it down ever lower? I saw it on a GL450 in Atlantic City this past weekend and liked it alot...

IIRC, Brabus makes a lowering module for the GL - as well as some nice looking wheels

From the Brabus-USA website:

GL-Class SUV X164
BRABUS has created an eye-catching “on-road” design option for the New GL-Class. The add-on front bumper with large air inlets can be upgraded with BRABUS fog lights and high beams. BRABUS GL side skirts feature integrated entrance lights that are activated with the keyless-entry remote, or by pulling on a door handle. Additional components consist of: roof wing, rear add-on bumper, sport exhaust, and alloy wheels ranging from 18" to 22". BRABUS also engineered a powerful 12-piston braking system, and the BRABUS lowering module for models with AIRMATIC air suspension that lowers ride height by 30mm. BRABUS’ world renowned engine tuning for the GL500 results in 419hp for the B8 performance kit, and 462hp for the 6.1 displacement engine. A vast array of interior choices like illuminated stainless-steel door sill plates, floor mats, aluminum pedals, ergonomic sport steering wheel, and custom leatherworks serve to impeccably customize the BRABUS GL.

Is it possible just to get that Brabus lowering module without all the other stuff?

Sure - that was a paragraph from the site saying what all they have. You can get all those things individually if you want. Keep in mind that the lowering is only by 30mm (1.25 inches) - might not be worth it.
