New Wagon Owner

Last week we took ownership of a 2017 E400 wagon. We had been shopping for a new 2017, hoping for a dealer motivated enough to deal on the right car, but not seeing the discount we wanted. Then a 2017 CPO showed up, and with a reasonable price, plus the CPO warranty extension (and no mileage cap). The car was originally purchased at the same dealer in May 2017. In brief:

White over Machiatto Beige/Black Leather
Sport with AMG 18's
Premium 3
Panorama Roof
Ventilated Seats

This car had all the options we wanted, plus things like the roof that we (yet) don't care much about. The original owner also had the dealer install a clear film bra and paint plus interior treatments.

So far the car has been great and exceeds our expectations. We are still figuring out all the settings. A few questions for experienced owners:

What can be stored in a COMAND profile? Are these profiles linked to seat memory settings? Am I correct that the car will always start in Comfort mode?

So you got one of the initial P03 lines that came out. Good choice! That color combo is pretty great - almost same as what I got (I got an '18 with night package and the black ash wood instead)

Yes, very appealing colors (just not looking forward to keeping white looking clean in snow country--assuming it snows ever again in SW Colorado). Speaking of snow, I already installed a set of Bridgestone LM-32 winter tires (yes, not run flat). And I ordered a second set of wheels for the "all-season" tires that were on the car. I have a hope/plan to carry one of these as a spare, at least when heading far out of town.

Here's a photo of the new car, and the primary driver.

And still hoping that someone can point us towards a good resource for setting up COMAND options. So far, both the dealer and the MB assist service has been less than great.
