Do I Have An AMG?
Hi everyone...new member and new Mercedes owner here. I'd like to ask a few dumb questions, so I apologize in advance if I sound stupid.
First, I just purchased a 2019 AMG GLE43 Coupe. I don't see a signature plate on the engine and with regard to the engines, the sales brochure says "...AMG V6 Biturbo or handcrafted AMG V8 Biturbo power." Obviously there is some sort of difference. Can anyone explain?
Also, if I'm reading right, this car has an Airmatic Suspension. Is this the same suspension that has been problematic in cars like the SL550 and so on? And if so, what can I do to avoid problems?
Thanks in advance for any clarification.

In short yes. But your V6 is not specific to the AMG line it comes in other models(albeit different tunes) and is not hand built... so no hand built plague

Thanks! I feel just a liiiiitle bit inferior now (not really LOL). I'm going to guess that the tuning is what they mean when they say "AMG enhanced V6"

Believe me V8 bi-turbo is more power than ya need... not necessarily more than ya want of course I traded a 2016 gle63s coupe in for my current standard suv, coupe was nice but not practical for me, i use all of the SUVness if you will, tow a boat, grocery shopping, trips etc... are you near sarasota fl ? I still have the rear weathertech mat, didn't fit in my standard suv... it's yours for the taking...

But I'm in Fort Worth, Texas so a pick up isn't possible. But, I'd be more than happy to pay shipping if you want to send it? (at your convenience of course). Shoot me a PM if you'd like to do that.

Hey there! Congratulations on buying your new GLE coupe! I hope you love it. Let us know what you think
The GLE43 is not a full handbuilt engine that is developed/built by AMG. It is enhanced with a few upgraded parts. In normal GLE SUVs, the GLE 350 engine is available, which is a naturally-aspirated 3.5 liter V6. The engine in your car the AMG-enhanced 3.0L V6 biturbo.
This car can be referred to as an AMG sport model, or you can call it AMG enhanced. The 5.5 liter HANDCRAFTED V8 in the 63 and 63s models is a full AMG built and designed engine that is built with the "one man, one engine" philosophy.
Hope this helps!
