2017 63S Sedan New Order Questions

Hello all,


New to the forum and appreciate all of the good info. Been following for several months waiting for 17 official pricing info which is up on the US site today. Now ready to move forward with dealers on an order.


I will be test driving the 63s Sedan this week and in advance have a preliminary build as follows:


Lunar Blue or Selenite Grey
19 inch twin 5 spoke wheels
Red Pepper/Black Napa Seats
Black Ash Trim
Ventilated Front Seats
Power Rear Window and Side window Sunshades
Premium 4 Package
Heads Up Display
Parking Assist
Performance exhaust


Specifically omitting:


Pano Roof (lack of control of light/heat coming in with thin semi see through cover-not for me-I would have gotten a traditional sunroof)
Performance Seats (great looking but way to firm/hard when I sat in them at the dealer)
Spoiler
Night package
Carbon Fiber brakes


Question: Have I accounted for the must have options...am I missing anything?


Also ventilated Seats...has someone sat in them yet? Necessary? Worth ordering?


Thanks a lot

Seems somewhat similar to what I would spec.

Polar White
19 inch forged cross-spoke wheels (titanium finish)
Red Pepper/Black Napa Seats
Black Ash Trim
Ventilated Front Seats
Premium 3 Package
Heads Up Display
Performance exhaust

I know for sure I don't want the pano roof and night package. I've had sunroofs on previous cars and never used them (Houston weather sucks). Skipped the night package because I'm simply not a fan of that kind of stuff. Also skipped the sunshades because I'm going to tint my car anyways.

Tough one for me was choosing between premium package 3 or 4. The only thing I really want out of package 4 is the LED headlights, the rest is a bunch of safety garbage that I would never use. It sucks they didn't make the LED's a standalone option. So an additional $3k for LED headlights? Nope, I'm fine with the standard lights.

BTW did they change up the design of the carbon fiber rear spoiler? Looks similar to the coupe now or am I wrong?

Design looks the same, it's just carbon fiber.

good specs, but personally I find the performance seats fair, they're not as firm as they seem to be, imho. but at the end its a personal preference.

but doesn't it look slightly thicker, bolder? I don't like it though I have the carbon bootlid spoiler on my '16 c63, I like that one more

Found that it can be added with any interior option, but NOT with the performance seats.

If you drive aggressively, get the carbon ceramics brakes or you'll end up paying for new brakes every 5k-6k miles like me.

Cannot be done with performance seats and only the Designo Interiors. On the coupe; it can't be done with any either but not with the performance seats.
