Thread jack, what's the last button anyway? Mines blank...

360 view is a must to me .Night vision is also a cool option but it's not as important as the former one .

Follow up question for everyone.

Is there an option for rear seat heat that is not part of the whole executive seating package?

Thanks again!

Yes, rear seat heating is part of the 'Warmth and Comfort' package. BTW, a great resource are the factory brochures at https://www.auto-brochures.com/mercedes_benz.html ... all features, options and packages are detailed for each model year

Last button is for HUD. I don't think it was an option on the 2014. I have every option on my 2014 but the HUD and the Fridge. I also have the Blue Interior Package.

The HUD is the 4th button. I think these buttons' functions changed between the pre and post-facelift versions and IIRC, according to the manual that last button is always empty in the facelift version.

Magic sky is cool. I wouldn't spend a ton more to get it. You can tint the sunroof if its that important to you. It is a cool party trick when new people get in the car.

360 degree surround view is the only option I can’t live without. My car is pretty loaded but I can live without all the other options. The next is probably the executive rear package because I frequently haul my in-laws and parents around and they are very appreciative of the VERY comfortable rear seating. Then it would be designo leather if you want an upscale interior appearance but you can’t get massage with the designo. Then it would be the Burmester 3D sound which I do appreciate. I could do without the dynamic seats or the massage function, Magic body control, night vision, heated windshield (although I hear they are more resistant to cracking), funky wipers that shoot wiper fluid, auto-close doors, HUD, air-bagged seatbelt straps, moonroof options. They are all nice to have.

The last button looks like the automatic sunshade for the rear window which is in a different location in my car.

S560
I just took possession of a 2018 CPO S560. For me the must haves are Premium Package, Driver Assistance and Burmeister High End. I am heavily into music and would never own a Mercedes without the High End. I don't even think it's quite as good as a lot of people, it's just better enough than the regular. If you listen to CNBC all day, fuggetaboutit. I love the Warmth and Comfort and not sure if I would buy one without, but if it had everything else I wanted at a great price, then maybe. Mine also has the Magic Sky. When reading about it I thought it was stupid. Now that I have it, I do like it a lot, but certainly wouldn't rule out a car without it. I think the original $5000 price for that is bonkers. I would rather pay $500 for a perforated shade or something. I also like the AMG Line and from what I've seen on the forum, they don't sell as well without it. My new car has the Nut Brown/Black Exclusive Nappa leather. The car I traded, a 2015 S63 AMG didn't. I like the Nappa, but doubt I would disqualify a car if it didn't have it. I really wanted the Nut Brown, which I love, because all my previous cars were black on black, and if I just went with that, since there are so few changes to the interior from my 2015, it would kind of feel like I'm still in the same car I traded. This feels like a real new car to me. The Heads Up display is actually quite nice now that I have it, but again, I wouldn't rule out a car without it. With my driving style I wouldn't consider anything smaller than the S560 engine, so you really have to decide how you drive. I might even get a tune because of how much slower this car feels when nailing it getting on the highway compared to my S63, but I might just be a little nuts.

Awesome, very rare car! I had nut brown nappa leather but not the premium diamond stitched in my 2015. Now I have the premium with diamond stitching on my 2018 and would say this is mandatory in my eyes. Makes the interior so much more oppulent, I wouldn't want to live without it.

I have an older S63 (2014) - do the newer 560's feel that much slower?
