Buying a 2020 S63 Convertible - Advice Pls

I have my eye on 2020 S63 Convertible.

It's doesn't have the Upgraded Burmeister which is a bummer. It does have:
  • Performance steering wheel with carbon
  • Black alcantara head liner
  • Driver assistance package
  • Warmth and comfort package
  • Carbon fibre package
Any important options missing?

Does a 2020 US car have particulate filters or lackluster exhaust sounds?

Anything to watch out for?

Thank you all for your help.

Heads up display should be stock. Night vision not really needed.

According to the 2020 brochure the HUD was standard on the S63 Cabriolet. The 3D sound system is great, I have it in all my AMG's. Not sure how good the standard audio system is, but likely fine for a convertible. When I bought the S65 Cab one must have was the Carbon Ceramic brakes. I will not buy another car without them. Make sure it has the designo Exclusive Nappa Leather interior. You will touch it all the time, and the designo Exclusive is much nicer then the standard leather. I am assuming you have reviewed the complete options list and checked that against the build sheet for items important to you. For example, headlights with Swarovski Crystal accents are optional on the S63 Cab. They were standard on the S65 and are amusing to point out to others but for sure not a must have.

I'd stay away from the CCBs. According to 3 separate service managers (at three different dealers) CCBs was the number one complaint on these cars because they squeal after a while if not driven hard periodically to re-coat the brakes.

These are rare beasts. Buy the one that calls to you, whether it ticks every box or not.

Where did you buy the ceramic pads from?
