congrats Cyclrider!

Thats a great color and works well with the rims.

I got the Iridium silver on the 2012 now, doesn't show much dirt.


Sadly, couldn't lease or finance a new 63 . Ended up getting another 550(on order) Steel Gray with Black Designio leather and it's being built right now and going to be delivered by around Thanksgiving time. Thats ok because the new interior changes is coming soon and grew to like it.

Awwww... I promise you will be happy with the 550.

Put some ADV1 22 inch wheels, a supersprint exhaust, a weistec chip, and de badge your car and you will be just fine!

I would love to do that, but it's another lease. :/

If you want more details about it, you can pm me.

Cyclrder:

Congrats on picking up your '15 GL63. Iridium silver is sharp with the 22 ADV wheels.

So MB really scrapped the 3rd row moonroof? Too bad. Even though I had to tint the glass, happy to have it. I do wish the front seats returned to pre-set position when the 2nd row seats are folded down . . .

I hope you have much better luck with your 15 than with your 14.

Kind regards,

I took delivery on my 2015 GL63 yesterday. It had been on order since May, built in July and finally released to the dealer in October.

I was more than a little disappointed to find that the dealer installed the temporary license plate with bolts that were too long. The bolts extended through the mounting plate and cut into the paint on the back hatch. When I showed the damage to the salesman and sales manager, they didn't think this was a big deal since the damaged paint was hidden behind the license plate. After a lot of discussion and me explaining that I was concerned about future rust, they finally agreed that I could bring the car back when their touch-up guy was there and they would touch-up the damaged spots. They found a couple of shorter bolts to reinstall the temporary plate.

It appears they use these same long bolts on all the cars on their lot.

Here is a picture that shows the damage when the mounting plate is removed:




Other than the paint damage, I am happy with the car. It is diamond white metallic with auburn brown, burl walnut interior. I have only driven it home from the dealership, but has a lot more get up and go than my previous 2007 GL450.

Chastylr:

Welcome aboard! Sorry to hear about the bold/paint issue. I appreciate that is frustrating when you have just spent so much $$ and waited so long for the car and there is "dumb" dealer issue at the start. With the touch up, you should be fine.

Best of luck. Some photos would be appreciated.

Congrats! What headache you must have gone through and although not ideal, it's great that you were able to recover. Cheers
