CLS 550
Please Help Configure Custom Order S550

Hi I have a CLS 550 and am thinking for getting the 2014 S550. I need to put in the order details in the next day or two. I was wondering if I can get some help with the order. Here is what I have planned. Car will be driven in Ohio

Ext:Ruby Black Metallic
Int Color: Silk Beige/Espresso Brown Leather
Trim: Burl Walnut wood

Options:
Premium Package 1 - $4500
20" Sports Package - $6650
4 Matic Package - $4000
Air Balance Package - $350
Heated steering wheel - $490

MSRP ~ 108,815.

1) I was wondering is there anything key that I am leaving out?
2) I am sort of reaching my budget limit. Is it worth it to upgrade the seats to Nappa Leather or Exclusive Nappa Leather. Is it a big difference in comfort or feel?
3) Any advice will be great. Thanks!

Unless you are specifically wanting 4wd, you could go with the Driver assistance Package which is the bulk of the safety tech that this vehicle has. I can't comment on MBC because I don't have it on my s63.

As for the Leather the difference is the softness.

oh well if it will driven in Ohio I wouldn't get P1 or the burl walnut.........but if you
move to Indiana it might be better to have the myrtle sunburst trim.....then again, living in Illinois for so long I though about wooden steering wheel....but now I live in NC and have the CF trim in my CLS

driver assistance for active & passive safety is a must IMO

warmth & comfort will give you the steering wheel heating & add some other features like power outboard rear seats. It's a pretty big bang for your buck

My wife and I love the heated armrests. A new feature that is great on cold days.

We did not get the warmth & comfort package due to being in a warmer climate...but I wonder if we should have because it takes the rear seat area to a nicer level with the power outboard rear seats, much nicer headrests in the rear and nicer arm rest. The comfort level is nice without it but VERY nice with the package. If you regularly have adult rear seat passengers IMO it would be well worth it.

You can get power rear seats for $1500 without the other warmth and comfort options.

Personally, I think P1, warmth and comfort and driver assist packages are the must-have options.

A fact I learned on the backside of ordering Exclusive leather.
