Hissing sound
Is it just me, or does everyone’s W212 E63 Hiss all the time. I’ve been in front of my house with the car off for a while and all it does is hiss. All my friends call my car the “HISSMOBILE”. I know it’s the airmatic suspension. But is this normal??

yep, the 2016's still do this (love this forum because I find these kind of answers)

feels like a W212 FAQ is in order, being new to the E63s - I have confirmed the ventilated seats suck, and hissing from the airmatic suspension is normal, among other helpful things.
