What option do you wish you had on your W220?
I think I really wish I had partronic. Driving the Infinitiy q56 I got so spoiled by the beeping, and rear camera that I rarely look a the mirror, almost hit my other car with my w220 today
Oh ventilated/heated seats would be nice

I took a car without Parktronic over one with it because I think the the bottle-cap transducers on the W220 spoil the looks of the bumpers. It was my second W220 and I know where my car ends. It sounds like it also makes you a less alert driver.

For a car as big as this one, parktronic is essential, imho, and I would never buy a 220 or other S-class without them. My parking garage is a little tight, and parktronic has been great.
I think the only other option that I could possibly have is the heated steering wheel, so I guess that would be the one I wish I had.

That's the other option I'd hate. For one thing, it's not real important in California. For another, it's a wood wheel, right? When I'm driving in a, shall we say, spirited fashion, a leather wheel is mandatory. Sweaty hands and lacquered wood are not the best combination at 140 MPH.

How about options you can do without?
The 4-zone climate control is cute, but the reality is I use it very, very rarely. On the other hand, it deletes the center storage which is a major PITA. I really miss it from my S55.

However, I can't say that I've ever felt a loss of control with my wood steering wheel, even on the rare occasion that I've touched triple digits.

To be frank, I could also do without the rain sensing wipers. They just never seem to be at the right speed for me.

I love the wipers. But that's not an option, so we'd need another trick for "stupid Mercedes tricks."

Of course, as rain gets heavier, wiping frequency speeds up.
I have it all but Distronic which i never cared about .
