Wrong car at the Dealer! need help!

Hi, well today I called the dealer to see if my new E-class arrived yet? and well it will be coming tomorrow, my sales rep managed to one way or another order the wrong options . Since I will not going to be taking delievery of this vechile, I started to re-think what I would like to have.

So far, its going to be:

E500 with Stone interior
Panorama
Solar Panel
Sports Package

Now here is where I'd like the help, any of you, with delievery already, have an options that you were uncertain of, that I should seriously consider?

Thanks for any help

Whiskey

P.S. Too bad I won't be taking delievery of my e-class tomorrow , but I guess waiting till the end of November wont be soo bad for the right car

New Comand.

First, I did not want it, -- now I can't live without it.

This option, not available till spring, but if ordered now, you get a $500 discount -- as mentioned previously in one of the threads by a Cali. dealer's rep.

Consider the split folding rear seat option. I see you have already decided on the pano roof. I think that is one of the coolest options.

I ended up with the ventilated seat package because I bought my car off the lot. Didn't want it but is actually a good feature and includes heated seats as well. Sport package is great. However, make sure you get the correct W rated tires ... mine had the h rated ones for some reason!

Maybe you should re-consider ordering...

Dynamic seats, parktronic and maybe the NAV. I would not spend the money on the solar panels really unless you park your car under the dessert sun all the time.

Finding myself driving the Mini Cooper S more often than the SKL32. It is absolutely a blast to drive and it corners like a train on rails!

Draws lots of smiles and attention too; both young and old. If you have to know....that includes the gals too.

You owe yourself a test drive....you will love it! Check these sites.

Well, whiskeym3 .....

knowing what kind of trouble it can get you into, I rather you take an extended test drive at the MINI dealer and scare the living daylights of the salesman! LOL!

You will not regret it and may even end up ordering one. Remember, nothing but the Cooper S.
