looking for the different types of builds and what people really consider need or don't need !!

Personally I like the standard steering wheel better. I've driven the democar at my local dealer a couple of times. I thought the dinamica/alcantara made the steering wheel more slippery. But the performance exhaust and seats are a must. The standard sport seats which I have in my current 250d are comfortable, but are lacking sidesupport. (Sorry for any spelling mistakes, as my main language is not English..)
I ordered mine with the same seats and colours, but with the carbon center console.

Off topic: Interesting about the price however, it's about half of what we have to pay in Norway... And that is AFTER the current government reduced the taxes the past two years for cars like this.

Agreed. My car came with the performance wheel and I'd recommend saving the $500 and staying with the base wheel.

Considered some of the 19" wheels, but glad I kept the standard 18" 5 spoke with silver accents. They are so easy to clean! I'm tired of multi spoke wheels that take forever to clean.

Not a fan of dynamica, in terms of its feel or how it wears.

Love the LED headlamps since we live in a development with lots of winding roads and there are occasionally deer or other animals at night. Went with P4 on the sedan to get active LEDs even though it comes with some stuff I don't care about like the stupid fragrance thing.

Definitely get the AMG performance exhaust.

I prefer the contrast of the sliver blade/front spoiler and of the diffuser so I skipped the night package.

Also like view using all for cameras with Parktronic, so very happy with that option too.

The standard seats in black leather with ventilation were great for us. This is a daily driver and black interiors are easier to care for than very light ones like the crystal gray (which was quite handsome in person). Sometimes very aggressively bolstered sport seats don't wear well do to the extra effort of getting in and out and people having to push against the bolsters to get out of the seat...so I skipped the AMG performance seats (which were never really something I wanted for this car)...although if leasing and you like them who cares, at best that would be an issue for the next owner.

Anyone know when the MY18 is able to be built online ?

Referencing another thread, pricing is still unknown and ordering isn't open until somewhere around July.
