i had a E-1 and really enjoyed it until I bought the GTR.

Unfortunately, this is most likely a true statement. Most edition 1's fall into obscurity, where's the S63 coupe edition 1? Those were over 200k new, G63, etc.. same with all the other edition 1's. Most people don't know what they are, and the ones that do won't pay for it until the car is old and everyone wants the rare models/specs.
Are you OK to constitute a EXCEL folder, registering our EDITION1 chassis number ? Production number ? Location ? Color ? Country ? Pano options ?
I could organise that (I asked that on the Facebook owner group, but no answer.)
Using lastvin.com , We can easilly start here :
Gribouilly / WMX1903781A003479 / Manufactured : 2015-06-02 / Delivered : 2015-06-18 / Color : SELENITE GRAY (297U) / Country :Germany imported to France / Option Pano roof (416)

So in your opinion what are the rare models/specs's in the GT line up that will most likely appreciate going forward.

Hi Jerry - You seem to know a lot about this car. I have one and am thinking of upgrading the exhaust. Any recommendations? I don't want anything too severe, just a little louder.
Also, any recommendations for a steering wheel replacement? I can't find a manufacturer for that year.
Use the standard AMG GTS as a spec for exhaust changes.
The uniqueness of the E-1 was/is the add on accessories from the factory. There were NO add/deletes to the E-1 spec interior or exterior all for a $144k fixed price US.

I don't want to stage the car, just to change out the exhaust. Maybe I don't know that much about this stuff. Do you need a tune if you upgrade the exhaust?

It’s highly recommended if you remove the “cats”.
Contact Weistec or Renntech and discuss your wish list with them. Both are very reputable and have various packages you can select from.
