Yes, Mojave Silver Metallic with Expresso/Magma Grey Leather and Natural Grain Brown Walnut Trim, I also added the Wood Leather Steering Wheel.
Really awesome choice!
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.
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.

We already purchased another, better-equipped rig. No particular issue that I’m aware of other than it sat in an Alabama parking lot for the better part of seven months.

Pic of the March order is below.
It will need some TLC to keep from scratching the paint with all that dirt. It’s interesting that they didn’t clean it up or provide any protection. Our Audi came completely wrapped in white plastic and it was delivered by an enclosed truck. It was shipped by rail from Mexico and then by truck.
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*

Yeah cars sit all the time, proper cleaning and inspection would be in order for sure but I hardly think that is a "problem".

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.
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 agree! Sun and heat take a toll on paint and plastics. If one was keeping a car 3-4 years it would be less of a concern rather than out 6+ years after warrant is out. Gray won’t fade as much but red or maroon will start to fade even with the UV paint protection.
Wow. Released just six days after the start of production? That's awesome. Congrats. Hope it gets to you ASAP.
(Nice build, BTW.)

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.

It is worth it Paul, I was lucky in that they sold me the one ordered for the dealer principal otherwise I would still be waiting or ordered an X5. Not sure it is the dealer at fault, they pass on the information they receive from MB and then get the flak when it doesn't happen. Hope you get it soon.
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.

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!

That's not good...hopefully they can avert a strike.
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.
