Odering process

Hi All,
After exhaustive failed searches, I have decided to order my S580. I just couldn't find the car optioned to my liking. With that, I am going to order tomorrow:
I am wondering id MB has a build portal like BMW does. During the build of my X3M competition, I was able to look into the portal to see where along the build, shipping process it was.

Also, a question: One of the located cars I found had a line item " heated windshield" I can not find that option in MB's build page. Does anyone have any information on this? Wondering if it's an electrical grid style like I had on my race cars.

Thanks in advance

Should be option code 597. Not sure if it is available everywhere. What else could it be except an electrical grid, small enough wires to be almost invisible.

Yes, 597, but I don't see it on the Build page.

You can build to your hearts desire on mbusa.com but they do not offer a portal to monitor your build in process like BMW does, wish they did...or you can just call your salesman and bug him every couple of weeks and get an update from him/her...

MB USA has become (to me) a total PITA....in that when you try and add this or that they require you to remove this or that.....very annoying IMO.

Does anyone know what item 524 "paint protection" is? Sounds like a polymer or "other" factory coating?. Update, It's a fancy name for clear coat

I love BMWs ordering process. When i ordered my Escalade i got a bunch of misinformation from my salesperson and GM. The truck showed up out of nowhere one day when everyone was telling me it hasn't even been shipped.

OP - selenite can have a slight blueish hue under certain conditions and can clash with red...it prevented me from ordering it in that combo b/c of it.
