not sure if something is changing but it definitely says in this years order guide ‘not available as an accessory retrofit’

A few notes:
  • MSRP has very much increased due to the newly standard options, a Pinnacle base model starts now at $93.1k, and the cheapest 53C is now $89.8k. I am optioned out almost entirely, so my build is right at $109.5k.
  • a lot of stuff is delayed, mostly paint colors, but also annoyingly to me is the AMG fuel cap.
  • the red brake calipers which come on the 63 and could be obtained with the Dynamic Plus Package (not an option anymore) are for sure no longer available with 53. The best you can do, is what I did, and piece together Active Ride Control, silver high performance braking system and Track Pace as individual options.
  • 3D Burmeister seems to indeed no longer be an option, was personally a bit let down with this as well.


Hope this helps anybody interested, as I’ve been bugging my dealer almost weekly who has graciously messaged me as soon as he has updates haha. Attached my order sheet below (MSRP is still unavailable in order system, but it’s confirmed).
Are the red brake calipers officially confirmed to be unavailable for the ‘24 GLE 53 SUV?

Is it possible to enter code U70 for red brake calipers manually to see if NetStar would accept the request?

I seen MB promoting a ‘24 GLE 53 SUV with red brake calipers.

i think it’s an error

no way they’d just ‘give’ you the red brakes, they’re a different part number, an upgraded item with an upgrade price tag. They’re even bigger than the grey $2500 brakes as well. Red is now 63 specific

I think MANUFAKTUR is just a replacement for the Designo branding, I believe MANUFAKTUR first appeared on the G wagen?

The W206 C 43 's 2023 model year has it as part of the $790? Dynamic Plus Package so I guess something similar for the GLE 53.

I have a production order for a 2024 GLE AMG 53 with the earliest production date in August. No price yet. Waiting on MSRP to enter a sales order. Petty much fully loaded though I have not included the AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL. Is this a mistake not to order it? Also the AMG fuel cap I did not order as I have no idea what benefit it gives you other saying AMG. Comments are appreciated.

prices are out, re-confirm with your dealer.

Ride control totally worth it in my opinion.

Fuel cap isn’t available for order right now anyways.

dealers had June build dates, your dealer has you slated behind others.

I have the SUV with ARC on my 2022 GLE53. The way this heavy car handles in the corners is just awesome. Get it.

ARC makes the car. Improves both handling and ride. If you don't get it, don't ever drive one with it!

Thanks for your comments. I just updated my order for the 2024 AMG 53 W to include Active Ride Control. I did a little research and it appears that Mercedes higher end cars have ARC. I now have a production date of June 25th. The production date was August until yesterday and when I asked if an earlier date is possible, wha la, June 25 the was available. Funny no mention before, makes me wonder if there is a push to produce cars with a firm order. Anyway good news and I was told probably a July delivery date.

good stuff! Yeah I had a 6-23 build date when I was doing a 53 with an anticipated first week of July delivery, I think that’s about the quickest any 53’s are slated!

I ordered 21" 5 spoke black wheels to go with night package. Dealer told me that they only had the 20" OR 22" wheels. Makes no sense as 21" appears to be popular and the 22" are $3,100 more expensive than the 21". I do not want the 20" period, the 21" wheels and large rear tires look nice. Question is should I go for the 22" at a much higher price or tell the dealer I will take a later production date. Your comments are appreciated.

Good choice, like others said Ride Control is a must just like PE prior to when that was not standard.
