Hi folks - for those of you like myself who have surround sound system, MB doesn’t include spare wheel just crappy tire fit system which is horrible. So I ordered a spare from ez-spare, and lo and behold, it fits in the tire space with room to spare! It’s a big heavy tire but at least you can see it’s the real deal. Also ordered electric Jack and gun and a few other items. Totally worth $500 for peace of mind. Fwiw you can order collapsible from dealer for like $1100, my way I think works out better! Now hope I never need to use it.
I got lucky with that. My dealer had both GLE 63 allocations show up the same day. Mine and another guy. Other guy traded in a 2021 GLE 53 and the salesman let me swap my tire fit for the complete spare tire assembly with everything from the GLE 53 which was brand new and never used (tire kit). So I swapped the hardened foam housings with all of the parts between both and was good to go. That was way cool of him to do that. In fact he suggested it lol when I asked why it doesn't have a full size spare like the other 63. Other guy didn't have 3D in his 63 so he already had the full set up. We did figure out why I didn't have it because of the 3D.

Good thinking. Can you provide links to the other items you purchased like the electric jack, gun, etc? Does it all fit under the floor?
Yep that's the place (figured it was an easy find and linking from my phone is a pain on this board). Jack I got was from amazon, I have yet to test it:
Unfortunately I can fit a few things under the floor with the tire, but not the jack/wrench combo. It's a pretty big box so it will live in the back in a box with my trusty tire inflator and a few other items. I have found it immeasurably useful over the years to have all of my emergency supplies with me in the car. I'd rather be prepared and never use it than the other way around. Small price to pay for some loss of trunk space! But the full tire fitting under the trunk is brilliant. First big trip with this car I unfortunately ran over a giant I don't know what and sliced open 2 (!) tires on the driver's side. Nothing was gonna save me then, but Keeler Motors in Albany NY are saints. I'm buying my next car from them because of the level of service they provide. Hope the above info is helpful.

They are a Colorado company, and I was impressed with their knowledge when I called. Their spare is black instead of DayGlo.
They say on their site that they didn't have a fitment for the GLE63S, but are working on one. They could tell how far out it might be with a call.
Watch their video.
I'm gonna do one of theirs on our GLC300 since we've removed the runflats.

Took a long time to get here since I hadn't emptied out my back for awhile, but today was the day to try swapping tires. That didn't go so well because you need a LOT of equipment to do it correctly. Heaven forbid you EVER get stuck on the side of the road to change a tire. Going to be a total nightmare. I'm now ordering a tire lifter and a hanging pin just in case. So anyway, here's the pics of how the ezspare fits under the trunk even if you have the advanced burmeister system (which you can't get anymore anyway). With the floor closed. Tire fits nice and snug! They totally could've included something here. Even too for odds and ends. Hole plug box resting inside, flat fix outside. Still room to spare. Different view with prop bar extended.
