2017 AMG GLE63 SUV On Order!

My order was entered with factory when first possible. Showing as in production for about a month now. Have these models begun shipping?

On 2017 AMG GLE63 SUV Options

This unit ordered with the majority of options short of the "S" version, most importantly, all of the safety related items. Not ordered were the "Night" package, exaggerated exhaust option, 21" wagon wheels, glowing grille star, sport steering wheel, things of that sort strike us as off the mark for a vehicle of this type. Although fine for others if that suits them. We are not out to attract attention but rather to have a quality vehicle ideal for road trips and the daily commute for years to come.
Since my previous post we have received notice that our vehicle is "VPC ready".

Looks like there's a new 22" wheel for 2017 GLE 63s. This listed on a window sticker for a car I found on Auto Trader. No pics shown:

Option 680 - 22" AMG Cross Spoke Wheels, Black $500

My two cents - With a name like WOWBANGER I think you should get the night option, the exhaust and the heated sport steering wheel (only dealer can enter that set up, not available on the site).

Why? Well, if you go to resell it years to come, those are pretty desired for the AMG in my opinion here in the states. The exhaust is something you simply "dont turn on". Leave the car in comfort or sport mode and it is muted. The steering wheel is just nice for driving + with fatter grips.

The glowing star is just silly - you are right :-) Dont get that.

If you got "everything" - how do you like the B&O system ? Are you swapping out the tires ?
