Reliability and purchase advice 2024 GLE 63 S

I’m looking at a beautiful 2024 GLE 63S but have read some off putting comments in YouTube reviews. I thought I’d come here for some more focused advice. I’d also like to know if anyone has been getting a discount from their dealer. After all, it’s very late in the model year!
Thanks for any personal experience and reality based advice you can share.

What are the off putting comments?

MSRP on mine was $141k and I got $7k off back in April. Can probably do a lot better now, though after my purchase I haven't looked at nationwide dealer availability to see if they're selling. I wanted specific colors and options, so it was easy for me to track specific cars back then.

Sorry, “off putting comments” was a polite way of saying negative comments - comments that might cause someone to but something else.
Specifically, I’m looking for first year build quality and reliability information.
thanks again

The 2024 and 2025 are facelift, so theoretically things should have been refined since the introduction of the new generation.

But what specifically are the negative comments? I saw most/all of the big youtuber videos. Most of those guys prefer BMW for whatever reason (sportiness, handling, looks), they like BMW infotainment better (not sure why), but otherwise call the GLE63 expensive, praise the engine and transmission, and deem it a beast.
