Hello everyone, I've been sneaking around for a while reading your posts about 450/43 AMG to shorten the waiting period for my custom ordered GLE.
The time has come finally so let me introduce my first MB – GLE 450 AMG SUV.
The car was ordered mid April and was delivered to the dealer yesterday so I rushed there to have a look while it was getting checked and set. It is Palladium Silver with Night pack and basically a "full fat" except couple options like alcantara headliner, soft close (I'm always gentle with closing the door but everyone else will always slam the door so there was no point getting it) and panoramatic roof.
So thank you for having me here, I'll do better pics as soon as I'll pick it up.
Are you able to put the car to sports+ setting, I want to see how low does it go.
Thanks !
I will do some photos as soon as I'll pick it up from the dealer. I'm going to detail it and put some protection on the paint during this week while it is at the dealer to make sure it is photoshooting ready. It takes some time since the dealer has not recieved all the papers from the importer yet which I need for vehicle registration at local "MVD" because I'm doing this by myself in order to get personal licence plates. If all goes as planned I may be able to pick it up on next friday (on my 29 birthday).
My friend has 450 AMG Coupe and from what I've seen it can be lowered quite a lot in the Sport+, there is just a slight gap b/w the wheel arch and the tire. I hope all the recent issues he's having will be sorted soon and MB will already know what to do if some issues appear on mine. He's having start/stop issue and some recent high oil consumption issue. The back of his car is covered in an oily spots and the engine oil level has dropped almost to its minimal safe range. So maybe a faulty turbo which would be kinda unpleasant since it has like 13k on the clock, we'll see.
Congrats on the new ride.....my wife is from Czech republic...been there many times. Love Prague and the beer! Enjoy the ride.
Thank you! Nice to hear, Prague's Old Town is great to visit but it get's really crowded nowadays. I'm over there every week because of my business and my Gf lives there but I feel the best when I have Prague in my rearview mirror. I've been to South/East Florida this Spring for the first time and I loved it. Miami, Keys, Daytona (I've had like the recent best BBQ Pulled Pork ever over there), NASA, Orlando.. Nice roadtrip and I'll be visiting FL more often during the winter and travel some more – South East and North West is still on my ittinary for upcomming year or two.
Thanks , can't wait to see the picture ! I have a 2017 GLE 43 on order but it will not arrive for another two months. I am thinking should I lower it or the sports+ will be good enough.
Hi guys, I've promised Tery pic of lowered suspension into sport+, so here it is. So far so goood! Loving the exhaust sound, it burbles even in comfort mode with 98 ron fuel and backfire in sport+ scares people in downtown
sport+ mode, rear is in a hole, on a flat ground it is as low as the front

Love those rims, I don't think they sell those in the US. Let me know if you are looking to sell your set.
Thanks
