Gle 53 coupe
Ordered a '22 Gle AMG coupe ,have a couple of questions
Hi all, as the title states I have ordered the above vehicle which I am told it will take 6-8 months.
not a big deal as my previous lease expires only next summer.
I am in Montreal and no dealer had one to test drive. Nothing in stock at all.
So on a weekend trip to Toronto last week I was lucky to find one at a dealer and got to drive it.
Obviously it's impressive.
There is a coupe of things I'd like to know from people that have one.
is it true the AMG Dynamica steering wheel is not heated ?
Being in Canada its a feature I'd hate to lose, so should I try and change the order to a regular wheel? If I only lose the extra knobs on the wheel I don't think it will be a big deal as it still has other buttons for such options
I just wanted to confirm that heating is not available on that wheel.
And the second thing I was wondering , where are any buttons for garage door opening ? I hope this car offers it. I'd be stupid for that much money a simple thing like this is not available.
I forgot to ask at the dealer and every video I've watched has no mention of that.
Thanks.
If you think of anything else I should know ,please mention it.
I did order all the main packages available at our dealers.
premium, AMG, drive assist and comfort package.

Are the 22 AMG 63 orders being canceled? Or are they changing them to the 53 V6?
I have contacted my dealer as I have had a 63 on order since 22 model became open to order. He still says my build is confirmed and nothing has changed. I do not know what to believe, but I am willing to wait and get my specific build and not compromise on buying one that is not what I want from dealer inventory.
If they do drop my 63 build, I am likely going to VAG for my next V8 SUV, I will not accept a 53.

I think you should consider a 53 (straight-6, not V6) which is a mild hybrid as you probably know. I have been extremely pleased with my CLS53 and an actually thankful for the switch from the V8 GLE580 that I had ordered.

Please correct me if I am wrong but I thought the GLE580 with the V8 also has some mild hybrid-ness too? Although they are not available in Canada, they are positioned below the GLE 53 in USA so I think it is actually an upgrade (in that case)?

If you are interested, here is a link to a comparison I posted of these 48-volt systems to Formula 1 technology developed by the F1 AMG team:
https://mbworld.org/forums/cls-coupe...e-hybrids.html
Some "AMG purists" may think that the 53 series of vehicles do not deserve to be labeled as an AMG vehicle because the engines are not hand-built in the tradition of AMG. I've had three of these sweet engines. But really, any competent master mechanic can assemble an engine from parts manufactured by a machine. The close relationship between the F1 AMG technology and the 48-volt 53 series justifies the AMG label.

I am in the same boat as you for a GLE63s that I helped a family friend order a couple weeks back that was scheduled for production in the 3rd decade of Oct. I spoke with the stealer late Fri. afternoon and they indicated that the order was still in the system and to be produced as scheduled. It was also the last GLE63s allocation they had. I talked to them again yesterday and informed that the production date was updated in Netstar. It was delayed till the 2nd decade of Jan. 2022.
At this point, I'm not very confident the car will get built. As a result, we're exploring options to either get a '21 or go in a totally different direction.

2021 GLE63s
Based on the announcement from MBUSA last Fri., 2022 GLE63s' orders and production scheduling was to be suspended immediately. The announcement did state that it could take until Aug. 31st for Netstar to be fully updated as a result of the announcement.

You are correct. Both the 53 and the 580 are mild-hybrids with the 48volt flywheel/starter/generator/motor. So is the 450 but the 53 is an AMG vehicle and has the extra mini-supercharger/compressor that kicks in initially at launch until the turbo kicks in. After my experience with the CLS53, I wanted a 48-volt setup and the "sound" and frankly, the "image" and aura associated with a V8 -- forgive my vanity. But actually, considering some of the AMG tweaks and the fuel economy of the in-line 6 cylinder of the 53, I am pleased that in situation the cancellation of the V8s led be back to a 53 in the GLE. I know that because of the mass of the GLE, even with the 580, it will not be that potent. One would have to go for a 63 or 63S version for that but they are not available now either.

Gle 53 coupe
Well , after weeks off I am back with an update and another kind of question.
Since my order had not even started yet on the,'22 model, my guy called me and they are bringing in a '21 model , that they found at another dealer.
New, He is offering it to me if Iam interested.
It's the cavansite blue color ,instead of the selenite Grey I had ordered , which honestly I do not mind, no massage seats ,(which I was not guaranteed on the new one either due to lack of chips) and no black package.
everything else is like I wanted anyway.
So I am going next week once it's in to check it out and I am really considering it as I don't mind the color and who knows when the other one would come.
Do you guys wrap your cars at all?
Considering clear ppf for major parts or even a full color wrap.
Any thoughts on that at all ?
I kinda like a mat look but I have never done anything like that, I just wanted to hear some thoughts.
kinda getting excited now that I might end up with one a lot sooner than I thought and all kinds of things I am thinking.
What about winter tires ? (Canada)
Just get tires , or other set of rims all together ?
thanks

Hello there.
I always wrap my cars, to protect them from winter conditions (crushed stone etc.). I always use XPEL instead of 3M clear films.
I love black, but I have a G63 in cavansite blu: to me a great color (like emerald grey). I do not like mat colors because there are too much cars around here in Italy in mat. Plus, it seems to be a very scratchy color.
To winter tires: my GLE 53 from 2021 came with OEM 22 inch rims. I bought 4 new 22 rims for winter time with Pirelli Scorpion Tyres. Very happy.
Have a nice day.
