New GLE 53 Coupe

Well, I canceled my order as I was able to get one that just arrived at a dealer near me. It's a strange build with compromises, but it had one option I craved: the High-End Burmeister. However, as a tradeoff, it lacks another option I really wanted: the Night Package. I personally don't mind this compromise as I can always blackout the trim and get new wheels, but I can't retrofit the Burmeister. However, it does look weird and different to me since every GLE Coupe I see has the Night Package. Heck, maybe I'll just leave it like this since it’s so different lol. I pick it up tomorrow.
  • AMG Black Exclusive Nappa w/Diamond Stitching
  • Driver Assist Package
  • Parking Assist Package
  • Burmeister High-End Surround
  • Natural Grain Black Wood
  • 22" Cross-Spoked Forged Wheels (silver ugh lol)
  • AMG High-Performance Brakes
  • AMG Performance Exhaust
  • AMG Drive Unit Steering Buttons
  • HUD
  • Trailer Hitch
  • Soft Close Doors

Here are some pics the dealer sent me (I purchased it sight unseen lol):

Love my 22" silver rims. You'll dig the stereo - I sure do. Enjoy the ride!

White and Selenite Gray are actually colors I don't mind having without the Night Package. They stay classy. At any rate I would take the High End Burmester over the Night Package too!

What are those scratches by the fuel door?

Yeah I don’t know. I didn’t notice it at first. This car was just delivered to the dealer so I hope it’s nothing more than a grease type marking. I’ll find out soon enough as I’m getting it today.

I’m about to go pick it up and I’m just curious but am I the only one that gets hit with buyer’s remorse? This happens to me every single time I buy a new car; it never fails me lol.

I mean I’m stoked simply because this will be my first MB and I finally get a car with the most ludicrously and stupidly overpriced stereo available lol. One thing I can take off my bucket list…

You'll love the 3D sound system. A friend of mine had it (I have the standard Burmester), and it really is an amazing difference, though I'm happy with mine. If I had the option on a 450, I would have also given in to the ludicrously and stupidly overpriced stereo too! Once the money is spent, you won't think about the cost again. YOLO, right? Enjoy!

Those are grease marks from a pencil that an inspector uses during quality control at the factory. They wipe right off. They'll take care of it when they detail it before delivery.

I think everybody gets some sort of buyers remorse.
Mine was that I had some sort of a mental block about a $100,000 car, and left out the high-end Burmester because it would have put me a couple thousand over. Pennywise and pound foolish as they say, because I'm reminded every time I turn on the sound, and it actually may be the reason I won't keep the car as long as I might have.

I got it and just spent two hours driving it home.

I have a 2020 X5 M50i and I’ll do a comparison. One thing that caught me off guard was no wireless CarPlay.
