GLE 550
Talking Fellow GLE 550 owners

Hello Everyone,

Wondering who else out there has a GLE 550 ? (not the hybrid 550e)
If so have you done any tuning to it?
Exhaust systems etc!

I know there isnt to many of these around I dont think..

Cheers

Would not recommend any tunes. The pistons are known to score the cylinder walls even on stock engines. A tune will exacerbate the premature failure of your engine.

MB’s of all kinds.
I did not know they did a GLE550 non plug in. No chance you mean the ML550? Renntech does a tune for that. 540bhp and 700lbs. Just be mindful when you tune cars you take away from reliability and add wear and tear. I am very conservative when I do a ECU Tune on anything

nope she’s a GLE550. I believe in Europe they are called GLE 500’s??

not sure how many units they actually made, but these isn’t to many for sale used across Canada either.

Yeah when the warranty is up I may get a tune for it. Was looking for some real world feedback with this engine / platform but it’s looking to be harder then I thought !
