Very nice. I like it and the color without the side steps. Looks sharp! Also like the choice of other vehicles. Similar garage toys too… enjoy the new ride!
Btw, closed a deal today on the most optioned one I’ve seen of all the ones I’ve found (even some options I would never choose if ordering). Same color and only 9 months old but first saw it when it was 7 months but was patient and got the deal I wanted. Now I just need to go get it.
Nice! Congrats. I’m blown away at the difference between this one and my old GLE. It’s so tightly put together. I didn’t get much of a deal tbh, paying new car price for a used vehicle, albeit very lightly. It’s the market so it is what it is. I made good on my E63s wagon trade so it’s not all bad.
Picked up my GLE 53 earlier his month. Had it stealth wrapped and partially blacked out. Going back this week to have the Calipers wrapped, grill blackout and ceramic coat the wheels. Going from a Range Rover Sport Supercharged and am finding the UI a bit to grapple with but loving the incredible blend of performance comfort style and safety this car has.
I didn't know that you can wrap calipers. Wouldn't some hard driving burn it up at 500F? Or 1,000F at the track?
Apparently they now have specialty high temp wraps (which they had to order in special - hence my return trip) My car will never see the track or offroad, just some snowy highways on the way to the ski hill. I have never been able to keep the calipers on my wife's C300 clean, didn't want the GLE to end up looking like the C300 does.
Nice. My last SUV was grey, I needed to mix it up and Blue wasn't available. What are you planning for winter wheels? I'm thinking of a 21 by10 square setup with 275/45's

I came to the gray from a Diamond White and an Obsidian Black. Black is great for all 5 minutes it stays clean after a wash. I needed a break from black so that was my only hard “no” when we were looking. I love blues. I got a Ram 1500 on order in Patriot Blue but wife doesn’t care for the color. Gray was a happy medium for both of us.
I haven’t thought about winter setup yet. I’m kinda hoping my square 20” winter wheel and tire set from my ‘17 GLE63 would fit the new one but I’m not so sure given how wide the hips on the ‘21 are. I need to look back on their specs. I think they were 20x8.5 but honestly don’t remember.
Edit: they are Zito ZF01 wheels, 20X9 wrapped with a set of Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3s at 265/45R20s. Still not sure if they’ll work or not. Do you know the factory wheel specs?

Not sure how your 20's would work. The diameter will be smaller than OEM, not sure if that causes issues, and not sure about fit over your calipers - you'll have to try it out. You might want spacers on the rear if it looks to odd with the narrow rear tire. Traction would be great though. Both the OEM 21 and 22 wheel setups are staggered 10"F and 11"R. with F&R ET appx 50 in both cases. The 21 by10" wheel spec I believe will fit Front and Rear without an issue - (275/45/21 by10 ) and maintain OEM diameter.
Another one! 2019, first sold in July of 2020. Only 16k miles on it. Selenite Gray with Black interior, loaded with every option. Just did PPF, tinted front side windows to match the rears and super light tint on front windshield. I don't think anyone ever sat in the car except the driver's seat.
That's awesome. I'm going to get my car blacked out as well. Did you have the night package or did you just vinyl wrap the trim? Did you vinyl wrap the emblems or just replace them?

I have a long laundry list of items I want to do, including blacking out the trim, emblems, putting on black mirror caps and buying some Vossen HF-7s in satin black.

I had the night package but post delivery have had satin ppf applied, had the emblems painted, blacked out the grill, had carbon fiber ppf added on the mirror caps and the insert in the rocker panels. Also had the wheels ceramic coated. Still waiting on carbon fiber covers for the door handles and high temp ppf for the calipers. Also waiting on a leather cover for the steering wheel, find the Dinamica too slippery, also getting a wireless dongle for Android Auto.
Nice wrap! I'm curious what tires you're using to go the ski hill. I have a GLE on order with 22s and I'm having trouble finding tire options for the winter...and we also like to snowboard.

XPEL Stealth I assume?
I just ordered a 63S Coupe in Selenite Grey and I'm thinking of doing the same thing.
Yours turned out great, any tips or cautionary tales?
