GLS 450 vs GLE 43 amg engine
Is the engine of the X166 450 the same as the GLE 43 AMG? Is the tune the only difference between the two or is there more into it?

The base 3.0 TT V6 is the same. There are likely detail differences including potentially tuning differences. The best way to know is to surf EPC and compare part numbers for the two engines.
At a minimum the GL/GLS and the ML/GLE will have tuning difference based on wheelbase and vehicle weight.
