Ordered my 2024 GLE 53 today, but can no longer order AMG Active Ride Control
I went to order the 53 and was told it is no longer an option for the 53. Also, can no longer order the AMG Fuel Cap. I really wanted these options, but it’s fine. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

Congratulations David Vargas! Tell us about your build! What color and options did you choose and why?
Looks like a pretty sweet build David Vargas. I think I saw in another thread that you had gone back and forth a few times with the exact build. I hope this one is perfect! The back seats will be great.

really, it didn’t come up as an option. The dealer showed me
So on your build sheet David Vargas, I see 489 AIRMATIC, as mbgle53 pointed out. It's on the 3rd page, 6th from the top. I also see 215 Adaptive Damping System Plus. It's on the 2nd page, under Standard Options.
My build has the same two standard accessories. My car is at the dealer, and I'm waiting for the registration.
This explanation is from an EQ vehicle and shows as optional, but appears as standard in the GLE53 build.

Always lots of confusion with suspension. MB clowns (dealers) are clueless as always.
- Airmatic: air springs (wrongly frequently called "struts", sometimes called "airbags" or "bags")
- ADS: adjustable shock absorbers ("dampers")
- AMG Active Ride Control: 48V active stabilizer bar which uses a standard stabilizer bar cut into two pieces, with a 48V electric motor + planetary gears between the two halves. Common now on highest level MB, BMW and Porsche models.
Strictly speaking, AMG Active Ride Control relates to the 48V active stabilizer bar:
