Anyone have a new ML63 with multicontour seats code 399??

Hi all,

Does anyone have a new (166) ML63 AMG with multicontour seats option (code 399)? I just wanted to see if the seats are like the 'standard' AMG sculpted sport seats but with the extra airchambers built in?

The reason I ask is because in the ML brochures I have seen ML63 AMG seats that look flat and not the sculpted bucket seats I've seen in various pictures that have the standard 4-way lumber support.

My new car will be here in a week, it has 399. I am eager to see the seats too. Being multi contour I think the level of adjustment will provide sport seat levels of stability when adjusted. The massage feature is awesome on trips

Thank you for your response!

Excellent! I look forward to you receiving your car. Please take lots of pictures!

I am considering ordering this option on the basis that it can make the front seat hold me about as firmly as the C63's superb front seats.

Lol!! At least yours is around the corner, I won't be seeing mine till around March/April if I'm lucky!

Anyway, I'll live vicariously through you till then if you don't mind. I can't wait to see the pics of your beast and those multi-contour seats. I pray they are still the AMG sculpted seats in design.

What's VPC?

I thought you said you were at the dealer. I just re-read it and you said you are the dealer!

Great, then you can take some pictures of any other ML63s you might have in the showroom with other color schemes.
