I finally got an allocation for the replacement E63. March build date and April delivery ( crossing fingers) I even ordered the CCB brakes to try and avoid any delays with the steel brakes.

Wow, this is nuts. The lease on my M5 runs out in May. I was going to try and order a 2019 around then, and wait out a few months for it to arrive. But if these production delays persist, that might not be an option for me. I can be without a DD for a few months, but not 6+. I might need to order a 2018 now.
Does anyone have an idea as to what the 2019 model might have different?

I ordered mine in August 2017 and was told then delivery would be December. December rolls around and I am told it will Arrive Jan 26th. I asked again last week and am now told most likely March delivery. WTF? I sold my S7 anticipating the arrival of this car and am now without a DD. I have 2 other cars that are not suitable winter drivers. I am seriously considering cancelling my order and moving on. We will see what the dealer does for me to convince me to hold on.
I look back at my quote and see it says March 30, 2018 delivery. Never noticed that before. I am sure the dealer must stick that in there to cover their ***.

2018 E63S AMG
For my car, which was shipped to the States following the European Delivery vacation, they did provide me a link to log in and see the logistics info, including the vessel name.
I was then able to track the process of the vessel using a maritime web tracking web site.

My dealer told me the reason for my cars delays is due to shortage of the heads up display.
They offered me $1,000 off the purchase price. Better than nothing. This is coming from my dealer and not Mercedes.

and this today:
Car factories across Germany were at a standstill on Friday as industrial workers staged a third day of 24-hour strikes, focusing on plants owned by Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Audi and BMW.

I just got told that all 43 model GLC’s have been delayed by a minimum of 3 months, and it’s 5 months for mine. Australia wide. No 2018 models have been allocated to date, which is frustrating.

Potential 2018 E63S Estate, BMW 7 Series, ML350 Blutech
Hey guys, new forum member here. Ordered my E63S Wagon in October with a Dec. 21st build date with an anticipated late Jan delivery but nothing.. Dealer just keeps telling me 30 days and it's really starting to **** me off. However, I see what all you guys are dealing with and we're all on the same boat. Anyways excited to receive the car, know it's worth the wait. I went Lunar Blue exterior, Macchiato Beige/Black Nappa Leather, black forged wheels, all carbon components offered, fully loaded except for CCB. Don't plan on taking it to the track, just a daily driver to and from work/vaca homes and to schlep the wife and kids around.

‘17 Carrera GTS, ‘16 E63 Estate, 1965 Shelby Cobra and a few more
I placed an order in early October, dealer told me end of January for delivery. Heard from him last week saying my order is "locked" but there's a "shortage of engines" from AMG and there's no update on when the car will be made or shipped. As I'm coming up on the end of my lease, I'm a bit concerned. Has anyone else heard a story like this?

Porsche (and I assume other mfgs like MB) are doing the same thing. Euro 6c regs kick in September 2018 for all new registrations and will bring much more stringent particulate matter standards (among other things.) EU destined cars seem to have production priority. More details below:
Euro 6 standards narrow the gap between diesel and gasoline light-duty vehicle standards and strengthen OBD requirements. Some of the biggest changes to come with Euro 6, real-word driving testing and the introduction of new test cycle procedures, are almost nalized and are expected to be fully implemented within the 2017-2020 timeframe.
In the EU, Euro 6 is being introduced in three stages. Vehicles that were certifed to meet Euro 6 limits ahead of the September 2015 regulatory deadline were allowed relaxed OBD requirements and no particle number limit for gasoline vehicles (the 6a stage). After September 2015, all new-vehicle registrations must meet Euro 6 standards, including full Euro 6 OBD requirements but with preliminary OBD threshold limits and a relaxed PN limit for DI gasoline vehicles (the 6b stage). After three years of Euro 6 implementation, or after September 2018 for all new registrations, the stricter PN emission limit (equal to the diesel limit introduced with Euro 5b) becomes mandatory for all gasoline vehicles, final OBD threshold limits will be enforced, and real world driving emissions (RDE) requirements will be introduced (stage Euro 6c). As a final component of Euro 6c, the Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Cycles (WLTC) will be adopted in place of the current New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). The timing of the WLTC adoption is not yet determined, but it is likely to happen in 2017-2020. No change in the Euro 6c regulated pollutants limits is expected with the introduction of WLTP, only the CO2 targets.
