2023 GLB 250 on hold
My new GLB 250 has been on hold at the plant since the first week in November. It shows all options installed. My dealer has no idea why. Anyone else have this issue?

Just told vehicle was shipped on 1-2 23. It was put on a ship from Mexico to Baltimore. Thought it would ship by rail. I believe I now know why it takes so long. They wait until they have enough vehicles built for the USA to fill the cargo ship which can take weeks.

You still have a few months wait most likely. The dealer also may not be telling you everything if they claimed they didn't have any ideas before... my dealer seemed to act like the process was common knowledge. I even saw him pull up some database that showed all the ordered cars for the US. Hopefully it really is shipped now, but they may just be trying to keep your hopes up. If it is shipped it still will likely take a month or three to make it through the port once it gets there. Hope you really do get all the options. I was a bit disappointed in mine when I really got to know it and what the missing chips or features meant, but I ordered a 2021 when a lot more add-ons were available and it wasn't delivered until next model year so it kind of made sense it showed up "lite" as the packages now say. Seeing the few GLBs that showed up at the dealer on their own with dark paint, but no tint on windows, power nothing except windows basically, barely any add-ons I felt fortunate to still get most of what I wanted and not to be paying the "new" prices and market fee crap of last summer.

Great news! How did it turn out? Hope you got all that you ordered! I've been building GLA 45's and debating if more power is worth the move to a GLA. I am really hating not getting the AR chip in my MBUX as ordered or the adjustable suspension being completely removed from GLBs.

2021 Glb35 AMG (2013 GLK 350)
Per MBUSA website, GLB35 AMG still has the standard adjustable suspension, AMG RIDE CONTROL Sport Suspension with 3-stage damping:

Got all that I ordered including the AR Navigation. Vehicle is much faster than I expected. Having all the torque peak at 1800 makes it a rocket off the line. I originally tried to order the adj. suspension but MB would not permit that option. That being said the ride is fine as is.
