I did it, the range is just 31 km. The power is amaging (i did also the Brabus 930 package).
Only the gearbox update from last mounth, gives only malfunctions that MB cannot solve yet!

Sorry guys...was away for a bit.
Yeah, asking about the W223 v W222. The Transmission struggle is with the porpoising, slamming, dead spot characteristics of the MCT 9 Speed. So bad were these issues that MB bought many back, "corrected" and re-sold back to the market as repaired Lemons (mostly 2018/19 Model yrs.
Yes agree if you feather the throttle from starts there is some improvements but inevitably the Trans fails me a few times a week. Something I have NEVER had an issue with in driving all my years...The Trans on other cars simply worked. I know we are talking about a very technical, high-performance AMG Trans but I have owned various other high, high end cars and the problem was never a transmission.
Just think more is expected from MB AMG...feels like they "mailed this one in". I might not be alone based on sales and the fact that BMW Alpina / M7 or others simply and smoothly "hook-up".
Thanks for everyone's time and discussion.
