Magic Body Control
Hello everyone,
I just picked up my 2020 S560 with the MBC option yesterday after having fun with my 2018 S560 for two years. This is my first S-class with Magic Body Control. One thing I have noticed is the engine sound is a little bit louder and runs on slightly higher RPM compared to the previous S-Class I had. Is this because of the MBC system on this car or Mercedes made any changes as far as the ECU update on the 2020 model? Has anyone noticed the same thing? Thanks for sharing.

I have an '18 with MBC. I does not work at night. I'm very happy with the ride quality as a result of MBC, big difference between when it's on or off. To my knowledge MBC involves suspension, not engine. There may be engine performance differences between your '18 and '20 though.
I would be interested to know what other differences you notice between your '18 and this new one, thanks!

Does not work at night... Big difference between when it's on or off...
Phew, this is damn indecent.
Now that you mention it...
My wife, I guess she knew what she was doing, cause she really, really wanted it after our first test drive.
As a result, I always stay at home from dusk till dawn.
