You are getting the silver brake calipers like mine!

Well my dealer is telling me something different so I don’t know why I’m being given false information. I ordered the car last month and I recently talked to my dealer like last week about the active ride control and red brakes and they sent me that picture of the dynamic plus package saying it will be added to my car so I really don’t know yet I’ll have to confirm with my dealer again I guess.

Dealer’s screenshot translated their order program needs to be updated. The 549 MBUX High-End Multimedia System is being replaced with 534 MBUX Multimedia System which is new NTG7.

I really insisted on the red brake calipers by all means and MB updated their D.O.G. because of me.
Eventually, I ordered the U29 AMG High Performance Braking System.

MBUSA market is very limited with options and configurations. My GLE 53 is $111K and I am not even satisfied with my build.

The Best or Nothing! What a JOKE!!!


I am thinking of canceling my order has they gimped the 2024 GLE 53 by taking so many options out. I know it’s due to supply chain issues, but for spending this amount of money I should be super excited, but I am not. I was going to get a GLE 63S, but no allocation ugh.

With no ARC, would the ride be significantly better with the 21” wheels? Debating whether to go back to the 21’s instead.

There is ARC it's a standalone option, no longer a dynamic plus package.

Really? I thought it was just delayed... I didn't know it was completely unavailable, I was able to get it on mine at least.

Or maybe a different way to ask the question - without ARC, are the 22’s back-breakingly uncomfortable? If so, would the 21’s save a few trips to the chiropractor?

Genuine question. Definitely keeping my order, not sure which route to go.

Hi Merc24. I don't have ARC and I have 22" wheels. The ride quality is excellent. I could see where ARC might help with all the HP and torque - maybe it would tighten up the feel. The added power quite an upgrade from my 2019 GLE43C4. This car feels more squirrelly than my 2019. That said, I am happy without ARC. And, the 22's are comfortable. I love the feel of them and they look like they fill/fit the wheel well.

I wanted it but I did not even had the option to add it. Sucks. I canceled my order because I’m not happy with $105, 545 with the lack of options that I wanted like I could not add carbon fiber steering wheel which sucks. I will wait for next year and just order myself a 63S instead.

that’s another thing i am angry about as well. It is only exclusive to the 63S. The silver brakes looks ugly to me. I wish you can also add the high end 3D Burmeister but that’s only for the GLS now.

Yeah to be honest if I can keep ARC I wont be that mad because I can just paint the big silver brakes red and everything will be good

Time is rapidly approaching toward my production date of Aug 8. Fingers crossed no more surprises as I am anxious to take delivery. I will confirm my production order on August 8 and let you all know the outcome. Weather some posters seem to feel that they can control what we post, I will say again, anymore significant changes to my order and I will walk away and probably order the Porsche Cayenne. I am a long time MB and love their engineering and technology and really hope I am driving a new AMG GLE 53 by the end of August.

The 63 has AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL as standard and there's no indication it's been removed. The delay seems to only impact the 53.
