Known issues by generation
The AMG GLE 63 S Coupe (W167/C167) exhibits some common issues that prospective owners should be aware of, particularly concerning its M177 4.0L biturbo V8 engine and associated systems. Careful monitoring of the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft adjuster magnet is advised, as failure may lead to significant repair costs. Turbocharger oil feed lines can experience restrictions that contribute to bearing wear, necessitating either a rebuild or replacement. Additionally, transmission valve body wear may degrade shift quality over time, warranting service for high-mileage examples. Be vigilant regarding the 4MATIC+ transfer case and the AIRMATIC air suspension to ensure any issues are addressed proactively.

Factors that can significantly enhance value include original paint in bespoke designo colors, optional AMG Carbon Ceramic brake systems, and service history documenting preventive maintenance. Collectors prioritize authenticity, so verification of the AMG-handcrafted engine plate and avoidance of factory color changes is paramount.
