2017 Edition 1 Coupe, 36k miles, $75k, too much?
Just need some feedback, is it the cost too much for the mileage? I know Edition 1’s come fully loaded and are kinda rare but would I be better off looking elsewhere?

That's a lot of miles for a one-year-old vehicle. How was it treated and maintained? Can you review the service records?
Edition 1's are less common. The original buyer paid a premium for it, but only you can decide if that's worth a premium to you. Chances are that whoever you sell it to someday down the road won't care.
At 35,000 miles, let's say that it's already used up AT LEAST 1/4 of it's likely lifetime mileage. That's also arguably "the best" quarter of its mileage, in terms of reliability, performance, ride quality, etc. By that logic, the car should be depreciated AT LEAST 1/4 from its original purchase price.
It's still a great looking car. But if it were me, I'd pass on this vehicle at $75K.

I've never seen a 17' Coupe that has full LED headlights without Distronic since they were bundled together that year.
Ignoring the missing splitter, painted rims, missing decals, the mileage alone makes this a hard pass. This is not a 75k car with 36k miles, not even close.

Looks like it's the opposite of fully loaded. What a confusing, odd spec. It's literally a stripper ED1 with no HUD, Distronic, 360 camera/park assist...

Edition 1's add no real value to the car. Remember, the Edition 1 was basically a deceptively named and expensive visual options package...and not even a distinct one at that. All it really adds are the stitching and some decals, all of which can be added to any AMG aftermarket for cheap. The sale's guys love to portray Edition 1's as "future limited edition collectibles" but in actuality they are harder to sell than models with other options.
