Thanks everyone. I didn’t know the spare required different bolts. I’m waiting on a quote. I wonder if those bolts are included or separate. I’ll have to ask.
Eh, I bet that chock is $70 or more considering the jack and wrench was near $300. I’ll just put a small 2x4 in my trunk lol. Actually I’ve never had to use a chock to change a tire.
I didn't feel the need to refuse delivery over the seat. It might have sat for weeks at the dealer until a replacement bottom arrived which isn't ideal. I actually did finagle a spare tire after all. Two GLE 63's arrived of which one was mine and the other person traded in their 2021 GLE 53. So we swapped all the spare components from the 53 to the 63. Everything is the same and fit perfectly changing out the hard Styrofoam pads with all of the components. Lifting up the carpet square and adding the retainer nub to secure the spare tire in my 63. It was explained to me by the shop foreman that you can get a non AMG 167 with the high end Burmester and get the spare (spacemaster) tire. In an AMG specific model you can't. He thinks it has to do with either weight or possibly balance because AMG is very technical in that respect.
my seats do the same thing. Has to do with the mechanical system that extends the seat for longer legged individuals. Interesting your dealer replaced. Are the much better?
Besides no passenger cargo net in the 2022. I found another skimp. The 2021 has the matching silver/chrome looking button for the trunk release and the 2022 does not. It has the black.

Hasn't yet and they do look a bit better retracted but not much. Interestingly, the passenger side doesn't do it regardless of position. In addition I have some deep creases on the outer edge as you get in that are a little too much for my liking.
Benzbell, how hard was it to change the foam insert from the tire fix kit to the spare? Was the tire fix foam insert attached to the well? Does the new just sit inside the well? I finally got a full quote.
A simple R&R of the two components is all that's needed. For some odd reason the TIREFIT kit in the Burmester 3D cars also comes with the red foldout reflective triangle. There is a spot for it in the spare tire kit but it doesn't come with it. So you can take yours and add it. I had to order one for mine.
You should have a total of ten items based on this pic of mine not counting the tow eye. I consider the bag of 5 lugs to be one order item. There are eight items in the pic counting the foam and the other two would be the spare itself and the "cone" screw that goes on top of the wheel and threads into the threaded nub in the pic. Yikes that wheel price.
