Ordering Parts

Where does everyone order their OEM parts from. I show my BWM CCA card at my local dealership and get a discount. My first Merc so I'm a newbie and there seems to be far fewer DIY Merc owners. (no offense everyone) I do a lot of my own work on the M5 and our Toyota Land Cruisers.

2021 GLS580 all black. 2014 GLK black (kids car). formerly: 2014 GL550 Palladium Silver (US)
I signed up with the MB club and they have a parts discount program. (I am also a BMW CCA member and new to MB).
The club benefit says 5, 10, 15 off - not sure what % applies to what purchases. But I'm getting 15% off on MB wheels for a winter tire package.
You might call your dealer and ask them what the discounts are.

I have a question Why does the vehicle year STOP at 2012 Do you not have parts for 2014?

A gaggle of MB's
With a new generation - such as the X166 - Mercedes restricts OEM parts suppliers from releasing new-gen-designed parts to 3rd party's.

Since you have a GL350BT on order - per your info - you haven't received your MB yet.

Make sure youy sign-up with the VIN# of your GL to Mercedes Owners Online so you can receive direct emails regarding programming/engine-tranny-entertainment management systems updates - important aspects of your vehcile that as a DIY'r you will not be able to handle on your own.

Keep the beat !
