I am also going for Mojave Silver but with a twist, to protect the paint I am going to have Xpel Stealth on it! I hope it will look good on a suv...

The first GLE 450 I ordered back in March arrived on the dealership lot today, looking every bit like it has been sitting outside for months. My SA texted me to say the second order has finally received a production date and, of course, it's a month later than was originally scheduled. It was supposed to go into production 2D November, but was assigned a production date of Dec. 10. As Fabbrisd previously noted, it's unlikely to get delivered before year end.
Glad we moved on and found one out-of state. It should arrive tomorrow or the day after.
Pic of the March order is below.

Funny, I asked my SA if he knows where my car is so I have some idea what day to expect delivery, and he didn't know. I checked out the Mercedes Me Connect app for the first time and, boom, it shows that it is in New Jersey, so I can probably expect delivery tomorrow afternoon. Gotta love the tech in this car. I'm definitely getting excited.

So I was advised today that the status of my GLE 53 has been updated to "B6" (that's the last step before it ships). I asked if she meant B7, because that's the code I found online, but she confirmed it's B6. (maybe the codes in Canada have slight variation's, I'm not sure)
The delivery date is now Nov. 12, 2019. But I'm told that date is rarely accurate so I should add a week to that realistically.
If there are no delays, I should be expecting the vehicle in 2-weeks! *fingers crossed*

I am, however, glad to have one that rolled off the assembly line a month ago, after the sourcing issues and production delays were sorted out. For peace of mind, if nothing else.

I don’t think I ever indicated there was a problem. I just said it looks every bit like it’s been sitting outside on a lot for seven months.

Mirror image.
...135 days after the order was placed and here it is. Could not have replaced the MY18 X3 with a better ride. The wife is in love with her MY20 GLE 450.

Wow that is a mirror image of the GLE450 ram collecting in the next few days and after seeing yours I can hardly wait. Any chance that you can put your first impressions one here just to wet my appetite even more?

After 7 months of waiting and broken promises from the dealer I can do little else but wait unfortunately, I'm sure it will be worth it in the long run.

I didn't originally order the 22 inch wheels but as dealer principals car it has everything that is possible to have in UK, ride on 22's is really good.

Production status

I hope you get it before Nov. 19, 2019. CN Rail who also operate subsidiaries in the US including Autoport has voted to strike. I don't know how far it will affect the US subsidiaries but in Canada they will stop work unless they settle before Nov. 19. My to be produced date is Nov. 21 and I have my fingers crossed too!

Can anyone tell me how long it took to get a VIN after passing the production decade? My 350 was D1 November and my dealership doesn't have a VIN. Just wondering if that is normal or if there may be a delay in production that the dealer hasn't told me. Thanks.
