Believe it or not, that was the answer from MB Canada, that AMG drivers are less concerned about creature comfort things like a heated steering wheel, and more about the performance and handling.
Yet (sarcasm now), MB goes to the trouble of having a heated armrest and heated console covers as standard, or optional equipment .
Your arms should not be on either of those places during spirited driving, but on the steering wheel !

Am a new mb user and am confused about the stop n go. I used to have an Audi A6 and the stop and go icon always show in the cluster when is not ready says unavailable n when ready turns green.
sinece I had this car I have NEVER seen the icon on the cluster neither has the car stopped when I get to a red light. I want to know if the icon doesn’t show in this amg but will stop when I get a red light. The indicated A is lit green but the car never stops. So I want to know if the stop n go is faulty or something else could b causing it not to stop. Any help and thanks

There several conditions (iirc 18) that must be met for the start/stop to kick in. Some of the items I recall are coolant temperature and oil temperature. I'm in Florida and the AC is usually enough to keep it from kicking in. There are several topics here that discuss the requirements.

Even in Germany there is NO heated option for flat bottomed AMG Line (Sport i think in US) cars. If you want heated then the wheel becomes round. Very bizarre. For interest in UK they never had it on the option list and the enhanced seat heating package stopped in Jan 18, along with ventilated seats, heated windscreen and heated rear seats. So much for luxury, especially when you get can any option you want on 5 series...
