If I custom order an S550, am I limited to the sorts of configurations on the U.S. MB website, or not? For example, I might want the design deep sea blue interior, but would prefer not to have to also take the 'exclusive trim' or any rear seat extras such as the power rear seats.

There is a dealer-only web site that you and your salesman will interactively build all details of your car. Many of the options are take-it-or-leave-it, but others are a-la-cart. You can order some seat colors without picking exclusive trim, for example. However, if it is a popular combination that sells well as-is, there is no incentive in breaking the combination. The process is more detailed than what is available on the public web site.

@syswei what you want to look at is the Dealer Ordering Guide. This will tell you exactly what can or cannot be done and is much more detailed than the MBUSA website (and provides a few more choices not listed).

I don't have the PDF file on me but you can ask a dealer to email you one.

You can not order the designo deep sea blue and not the exclusive trim.

exclusive trim isn't much anyway......and is nice, custom order is the only way to go with these....

The exclusive trim is one of the things I wish I had put on my 2015 S550 order. The back doors, while graceful and beautifully crafted, would look a lot better with the wood accents...

hyperion667

you also get that little bit of extra on the rear vents and the front doors as well

As well as the back of the front seats.

power rear seats really add a nice touch for the passengers........makes a big difference in the luxury for the back seats, and yes, the ex. trim has the back seat piece too

jrpisha

Agreed. I did get the power seats in the back - very comfortable.

MTrauman

Also agree. The power back seats are like night and day for the back seat passengers. Highly recommend them.

hyperion667

all of my rear seat passengers have really liked the reclining feature.....very comfortable

Alishami

reclining seats are nice but you get 2 seats instead of 3 seats for the rear passengers

I got electrically moving seats with memory function and heating and cooling feature without the footrest and the folding tables which will make the car tighter and it's kind of useless to pay such amount of money for a car that takes two passengers only

hyperion667

couldn't agree more: just to be clear I did not get the executive back seat......just the power rear seats and executive trim, which does have the 'biatch' seat

MTrauman

Not sure I agree with the statement that with reclining seats you get 2 seats instead of 3 seats for rear passengers.


With my reclining rear seats I can have three passengers with three seatbelts. I have the Warmth & Comfort package which includes the reclining rear seats with a middle seat with a seat belt.

Alishami

What I meant by reclining seats is the seats with leg support and footrest
but reclining the seat itself is something obvious with electrically moving seats.

Thanks for the help, guys. I'll ask a dealer for a copy of the dealer ordering guide.

BTW I rarely have rear seat passengers, except on occasion my kids or their friends, so don't care so much about the rear. I never drive clients around. I understand that many of you might have a greater need for rear luxury.
