E ABC

Looking for a '21 or '23 GLS 580 with E-ABC. Does anyone know the option codes for these so I can have the sales people double check?

DC7PKG It will show as an option pkg on the build sheet.

My advice is do not get a GLS with E-ABC. I had a 2021 GLS 580 w/CPO, bought at 7K miles and finally traded in at 12K miles. It spent a total 6 weeks at the shop during 6 months ownership.
Mercedes replaced hydraulic pump and right rear strut, still kept squeaking and occasionally the right rear went soft. Left front tire started flaking tread, per Mercedes this was “due to road surfaces it was introduced to”. At that point I traded it in for a new 2024 X7, which has been rock solid.

Funny. We’re doing the exact opposite. BMW is doing a buyback on our ‘23 X7 as it’s now been in the shop for 7 or 8 weeks. Bought earlier this year and 5k miles. That on top of the fact it is the very worst AC I’ve ever had in a vehicle (there are many, many complaints of this). Really hope we both have better experiences!

Haha that’s crazy! I truly hope too we both just ended up with bad examples and get better experiences. We’ve had no issues whatsoever with our 2024 X7 during the first 3K miles, including the AC on hot summer days. Just don’t buy a pretty 2021 Cardinal Red 580 if you happen to see one

I heard some cars with EABC are unrepairable?

You should post the VIN if you still have it.
