4matic and magic body control
Does anyone know if there are plans to implement Magic Body Control on 4matic? and when?
I am considering a 550 4matic and s63...and I really like the MBC option
thanks

I have MBC with Sports Package Plus 1. Its unbelievable how it handles curves and washes away some bumps - but not all. (I did expect better based on videos I saw on youtube) but having 20" wheels/tires vs the 18s they had on the test vehicle I am sure plays a role.

If they decide to do it it would most likely be in a mid cycle refresh at the earliest (2016-2017 model years). I am on the fence as well as I would like to get a S550 but want it with MBC

I believe 4MATIC itself takes up too much space considering upcoming V12 engines don't come with that option either as opposed to V8 ,V6 engines . Because being V12 in comparison with V8 engine, you will have 4 more cylinder and therefore you will have a much bigger engine in size and already a tight engine bay has no more extra room for an equipment (4 MATIC) that requires some considerable space
