I'm a new member, and a first time MB buyer. I got word today from my dealer that the AMG Ride Control option on the GLE AMG 53 with a build date after August is delayed. What does that mean? Will it be available later and I should wait? Just continue my build without the option? Any help would be appreciated!!

I took the advice from others on this forum and added ARC to my 2022 order. I am glad I did because the handling on the car and cornering is outstanding. If I were in your shoes I would either wait until you're sure you can get it on the gle53, or change your order to the 63 and see if you can get it that way. Or, check inventory in surrounding areas for one with this option. Might be slim pickings though. The 63 order bank was shut down in Oct 21 when I made my order, but honestly I love my 53. Especially with the now unicorn 3D sound option.

As of right now my order says there is a production freeze and they have no clue when it will arrive. They also swapped out my red interior for black without telling me.

If you specifically want the AMG ride control, just wait until they can confirm that it will be available. It's frustrating when they build your car and then they tell you that the options you want are removed or cant be added to the build, then they try to hit you with paying full MSRP for a car that isn't exactly to your specifications.

Good luck with your order.
