Your rear seat passengers also get vents in the B pillars with option 581. Iirc there is a filter in addition to the base system, but I'm not real clear about if this is a second filter in addition to any other that may or may not be present.
From mbusa site:
Four individual temperature controls offer personalized comfort to the front and rear cabins. In addition to fully automatic or manual control of blower speed and airflow distribution, the system includes sun and humidity sensors, a dust/pollen filter, and an activated charcoal filter that automatically recirculates cabin air upon detecting a significant increase in smog.

I requested a four zone climate control with my 2023 GLE 450 build. However, when I received the latest production (MSRP) sheet it shows the dual system instead. Question is there coming to a significant difference in the cabin’s airflow distribution with the dual rather than four zone system? Also, is there possibly some reason they can’t equip it with the four zone?

GLE 450 Options
I wish I had requested the hot/cold cup holder and illuminated running boards for my 2023 special built. Any experiences to share about these features and what I may be missing out on?
I ca imagine you can’t get either installed after market, huh?

My GLE 580 has both, the illuminated running boards are nice to have but not a must. The heated/cooled cup holders are essentially useless - save your money. The GLE cupholders are enormous and the spring tensioning mechanism only works from one angle, so when you put any cup smaller than the maximum size in the cupholder it only touches the heated/cooled area from the smallest area on one side. The bottom is not temp controlled.

I’m just the opposite of the previous poster. I think the running boards are useless and make the car look horrible. So obviously I don’t have them. But as for the heated/cooled cup holders I’ve had them on all my past GLEs and I think they are a great value for their money when comparing other overpriced MB options. I use a lot of plastic disposable water bottles and the system works great for them.

hey @stephencs601 any news on your order?
Just curious since I just placed an order on 10/8 and I'm anxious to know what the timeline is going to be like for my own order.
Also general question, is the discount you get from MB Club basically the "preferred employer" discount? In other words, I can't stack the two?

To me heated/cooled cup holders for $180 is a no brainer. They definitely work and I like them. On the running boards, I decided to pass as I prefer the look without them because they are basically non functional for the most part.

Didn't realize that there was a MB USA club. From looking at the website, doesn't seem to be enthusiast driven.
Been a member of the BMW Car Club for 10+ yrs and join in the monthly activities we have here in Atlanta.
BMWCCA requires you to be a member for 1 yr (6 months if you get a 3 yr membership) to get their rebate.
Their rebate also cover CPO purchases too.

Not real happy, was just informed the vehicle we ordered will be in by March. Ordered beginning of October. Six months to get a car, something is not feeling right.

7 months seems to be the norm.
I ordered MY2022 in March with an estimated August build date. It came about a month ago. They kept getting 350s in but no 450s so I’m not surprised that your wait for a 450 may be a little longer.

Sounds like I'll be waiting a while for my 63 then...
Works out for me I guess, the longer I wait, the less I'll be financing.

Seems like the 350 versions get built faster and more often. The 450 and 580 are not as common. Figures, we get the odd ball.
