I'm first on my dealer list as of last June (one of largest AMG dealers in world). By the time I could let a buddy know about it a few days later, the sales guys called their clients and he's down to 5th on list when he called. I'm very curious about colors and options. I'm tired of black and thinking about the selenite gray very similar to the 580 on this forum. Maybe with equivalent to the Auburn Brown interior with black headliner TBD.

Build Options
I went to dealer today to see what can be configured on their system. LOTS of standard features such as Dynamic Engine Mounts, AMG Active Ride Control etc etc etc. No prices on base nor options. I will also add the Executive Rear Seat Package Plus incase don't feel like driving.
I do have some questions for smarter people here. What is AMG Light Display? 465 AMG Active Ride Control vs 489 AMG Ride Control+? (each is a line item). What is the Parktronic with "Advanced Parking Assist"? AMG Performance Exhaust? Comfort Headrests Front? AMG Track Pace? SD-Card Navigation Pre-wiring? Advanced Tire Pressure Monitor? Weight Sensing System? Distronic Plus 3.0 with Steering Assist?
I'm disappointed to see only 80 liter fuel tank (21.1 gallons) For now, limited 23" wheel choices. I REALLY like the 580 double 5 spoke "AMG Wheel" and not so much the standard AMG spoked wheel on the 63. (NOT a fan of the mono block wheel either). Porsche offers "PDLS+" an advance European LED headlight system which adapts and shades to oncoming cars etc etc but NOT activated and approved by US DOT... yet. I'm sure a simple code activation. Mercedes offer similar?

The AMG Private Lounge is probably the best place to get your questions answered. Since you're a current AMG owner, ask away there and let us know what they say.
Here are my guesses, because of that nice GIF you have there:
AMG Light Display might be the projectors in the mirrors with the AMG logo rather than the MB Star.
Advanced Parking Assist might be the one that does the gear selection, braking, and gas in addition to the steering.
AMG exhaust has variable flaps.
Comfort headrests have an extra attached pillow, as in the Maybach.
Track Pace is a built-in system for lap times on known tracks, plus telemetry data graphing (steering angle input, gas, brake, and g-force).
Adv TPMS measures temp in addition to pressure.
Weight Sensing tells how much someone weighs in the seat to adjust the airbags and belt reminder.
Distronic Plus 3 does the extended restart on motorways, and steers much better than the old system.
MB's equivalent of PDLS+ is Multibeam LED, but it too is turned off in the US. MB's Digital Light goes much further than PDLS+ by making patterns on the roadway for crossings etc.
BTW, it's Burmester, not Burmeister.
