Tilting toward GLC 43 amg Coupe

Hello Folks,
I have a 2019 GlE 43 amg , and was considering to add a smaller suv /coupe and liked the GLC 43 amg coupe over the 2025 X3 m50 ( it rides and drives great too but looks are a little polarizing, X3 is a little more wider but GLC interior is nicer and has a more aggressive powertrain and gearbox compared to the one in M50 ) '',

I have a few q's needing help

1) How has been the experience with this newly redesigned glc 43 amg
2) Did any one in the PA/Nj area build a 43 AMG coupe and if so how much % of msrp is reasonable to expect from dealer(s)

Thx in advance

I mean, you could still get the previous gen x3 40i new, I am sure there are still stock. That said, you could obviously get used glc 43 from previous gen as well, with the same engine in the GLE 43 you have.

As for experience, the sedan version had quite a bit issues in the start, so the glc version might still have some of those issues, I recommend reading the sedan forums:

https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-c43-a...y-amg-c43.html
https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-c43-a...cceptable.html
https://mbworld.org/forums/c450-c43-...xperience.html

Hopefully the said transmission issues are resolved.

Here are some owner posts, you could probably reply to this thread and ask them: https://mbworld.org/forums/glc63s-gl...-glc-43-a.html

To your second question, how much percent off:

Thx and will take a look. I prefer the 2025 x3 m50 overall compared to the 2024 x m40 especially from a driving and ride perspective and GLC 43 is even better from a dynamics perspective

Thank you for the links . I was able tot take out a GLC 43 amg on my own for a test drive . once I figured out shifting properly with paddles , it felt good, THE MCT 9 speed is not exactly as fast as my PDK but very good if you can adjust your shifting to its speed of shift and way faster than my gle 43 amg TCT shifts but nothing like feedback from current owners on good and ok parts of this GLC 43 amgAlso, I keep hearing that everything is exactly the same between coupe and SUV except looks and space and Coupe has a slightly deeper sport sound over the SUV

Thx
