Q01 Package

Note that in only includes the P01 package that includes the Panorama roof. However, it doesn't seem the final price includes this roof since it is decremented $1400.

When we were ordering our car there were a number of Q01 packages in the pipeline that the SM adapted to get our build. This took some time since both the website configurator and the internal one has some programming issue re the P01 and Q01 packages.

For those who want the roof it seems they can be ordered again but I would not swear to it.

Finally! I was waiting for them to update the GLK build section for 2013 as they have already done for most of the models. Thank you, will check it out now.

Speaking of builds

Does anyone know what the size of the 19" tires are on the standard wheels?

Also, are the GLK 17" wheels still available as an accessory or after market fit the 2013 hubs and over the brakes?

Reason: we need to put winter tires on the car in either 19" or 17" sizes since we already have a set of lightly used 17" Blizzaks and we are cheap!

Ps: the SM told us the standard 1st gen GLK 17" wheels were almost impossible to sell at his dealership. He recommends the 19s. If a person orders the 20s they strongly recommend tire and rim insurance because of the "shovel ready" potholes causing at least tire failure. Btw we like the ride firmness with the standard 19" wheels but my bad I forgot to take down the tire specs. I know they were some type of Conti all seasons but forgot to read further.

I have to admit, this model is growing on me, i didnt like it at first but now i love it with the AMG package. The interior looks so nice and classy.

The interior is . Same outlets as the new SL. With the leather and heated seats, the passenger front beats any other seat we tried in the small CUV class. (wasn't able to try mb tex seat.) the controls are at hand and easy to learn.

The 19" size(s) listed in the German MY 2013 configurator: 235/50 R19 (front and rear), staggered 235/50 R19 (front) / 255/45 R19 (rear).

17" is as well there: 235/60 R17. The only dimension for which snowchains can be used.

The Daimler/Mercedes-Benz specification with regard to GLK wheels/tires: https://mbworld.org/forums/attachmen...typ-x-204x.pdf.
