Question 2020 g63 building sheet, please provide comments

Hello
First time here and bring my 2020 G63 building sheet here to find some suggestions and comments. Ordered it in August 2019, and a couple of months ago the dealership told me the car should be delivered by June. But I know there is none any production now, so not sure when it can be delivered. So far, I can still do some changes to the building, so share your comments with me. Thank you.



I didn't add the heated steering wheel in my list, because it has the conflict with AMG Driving Unit, am I correct? Please help.

Zhang - if it was me - I would delete AMG Top Speed Delimiter - and use that $2200 to help defray the $3500-$3600 cost of the ReenTech HHT (hand-held tuner) which delimit's and re-tunes your G63.

I use the heated steering wheel all the time, even in summer. The drive select switch on the center console is so easy to get at, I don't regret that decision.

G63s and a few others
Heated steering wheel is by far better than the redundant drive unit.

CF engine cover IMHO is kinda silly.
$1500 can surely be better spent.
Heated steering wheel a must option

LOL. I didn't want to say that, but I agree
Same on the Driver's pack - no one in their right mind is taking this thing over 130mph.

Yeah, I see Shmee150 did the same thing you mentioned for his G63.

I understand, but I just like the sporty-looking for the steering wheel with the AMG drive unit. Since you had the experience, can you let me know how long you wait between you got the allocation and the final delivery? Thanks

I disagree on the Heated Steering Wheel. That said, I don't live in sub-zero climates.

I prefer the redundant buttons, mostly because they look cool.

Heated Steering Wheels never captured my heart. Heated Seats? Now that's captured my butt, for sure.
