2018 GLS 550 4MATIC AMG Appearance Pack
New Owner

Hi, I just purchased a CPO 2018 GLS 550 with the AMG appearance package and all the other options available. I'm a BMW and Audi and Lexus owner so this is my first Benz. What issue do these 550s have also what services should I expect? I'm under 20K odo currently. Also what cool features does this car have and any ownership advice? I plan to keep this car for a long time. The BMW forum is quite active so I would like to see how the Benz forum is

Sincerely,
New forum member

Congratulations! Please post a photo of the GLS. Regular maintenance schedules are posted on this site in multiple places. Keeping up with the MB specified maintenance is the best practice.

If it has all the options, wouldn't you know what the options do? Post your vin so we know what options you have.

Hi, My vin is 4JGDF7DE4JB008957. I will post pictures once I'm back from my long road trip. I have no clue what options control what. I didn't even take a test drive and no explanation from the dealer as well.

Looks to be very nicely optioned but not completely loaded. https://www.lastvin.com/vin/1eQm3AVbpZMA9GW6N

Oh okay, what are some of the options that I am missing that I should have got? I know that I don't have Heads up display. That feature is very convenient if it had it.

Active curve, rear monitors, and B&O sound. Yours has great options though.

Also, Is there supposed to be a trunk tonneau cover that I am missing? if so should I have the dealer send me one since it's CPO?

Not unless it was pictured with one or advertised as such.
