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

Spoke with Mercedes Benz USA in Jersey. At this time, there's no plan to combine the two because the technology is not small enough to put both in the car. (He pointed me to how even the technology behind their 3D audio and Fridge option reduces the trunk 15%).

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
