Acoustic Side Glass

Anyone with the new GLE know if they're putting acoustic side glass in the front? I didn't see it as an option. The glass would be double ridged on the top. Unlikely any other markings. Thanks!

Interesting comment ... "The glass would be double ridged on the top" - so you are aware "acountic glass" current tech does not have double-ridge... check a 2016 S550...

Keep the beat !

I didn't know that! I haven't seen one that the top of the glass looks the same as tempered. The new E class still has the bump. Soooooooo....does the M class have the acoustic glass as standard, option, or not available?

Did you check the 15/16 S550 ? And so you know - the 2016 E-Class is "current" - the 2017 E-Class next year will be the "new" E-Class

Yea, the W212 has the acoustic, and the double ridge, you have to special order it as such, and they charge the extra for the glass, and 'a special order' code. No disclosure yet on the W213 if it has, or will have it. Still a ways out from being sold in US.

Still don't know if any offering of the M class/GLE has acoustic. Do you know?


EDIT: I WENT TO DEALER, AND IT DOESN'T COME WITH THE OPTION AT ALL. Oh well.
