consider it as a sign of a very healthy engine and transmission. The piston rings are seated properly. Our 450s are 6600 lb beasts.
i have a 11 year old volvo xc60 (also inline 6, 3L turbo but only 4000 lb) and when the oil is fresh it really slows (engine brakes) when coasting. It's 2000 pounds lighter.
the trans takes a while to adapt just like any new car. Trans flush every 60k miles. Oil change every 5k miles.
Plus the 450 has the eq boost thing that takes energy from coasting to charge the battery.

Hi all.
Yesterday I was driving down the highway and noticed that when I release the gas pedal, the car quickly loses speed, even if it goes down a slight hill, it feels like the engine brakes.
Attaching a video, who owns a GLE v167 350 4matik, can you tell me if this is normal or not? And in what direction to dig?

Try this...next time you are in the freeway and there are no other cars behind you put the car to neutral and see if it will slow down the same way.
