Talking Looking to snag a GT 63 4-Door

Hey folks:

I'm definitely not new here, but I'm in the market to buy a GT 63 4 door coupe. I currently have a S 550 Coupe, and a GL 550. I'm planning to trade the coupe (despite me really wanting to hold on to it). But I had a few questions...

1. Any known issues? The one I'm looking at is a 2019. It appears to be fully loaded.
2. Which package has the AR navigation? Is that standard or an add-on. That's the only thing I didn't see on the sheet. I'd like to know what other options I'm missing? My S 550 coupe has night vision, ILS+ activated headlights, HUD, and MagicSky sunroof. It doesn't seem those are options with this car.

Here are the options on the car:
[RWC] Wheels: 21" Black Amg Forged Twin 5 Spoke $3,950
[297] Designo Selenite Grey Magno $3,950
504] Auburn Brown/Black, Exclusive Nappa Leather Upholstery $2,160
[H73] Amg Carbon Fiber Trim $2,850
P71] Amg Dynamic Plus Package $3,000
[997] Driver Assistance Package $2,250
[996] Parking Assistance Package $500
[U78] Amg Performance Exhaust System $1,850
[261] Badge Deletion For The Front Fenders $0 <-- Hnmm, can this handle a full size laptop (not a ultrabook)?
[883] Soft Close Doors $550
[432] Active Multicontour Front Seats W/Massage Function $1,320
[902] Rapid Heating Front Seats $450
[L6H] Amg Performance Dinamica/Carbon Fiber Steering WHL $900
[U88] Amg Drive Unit Steering Wheel Buttons $400
[61U] Designo Black Dinamica Headliner $1,600
[463] Head Up Display W/Amg Specific Content $990
[U80] 115 V Socket $115 <---- I'm not an electrician. Why would someone pay extra for this? What is the benefit?
[070] Chrome Door Handle Inserts (Set Of 4)

I was going to settle for a 53 and wait for a Renntech tune, but I figured. Go big or go home. I'd love to know your thoughts on the car, issues, any options I'm missing that are must have, etc. Thanks!

Solid car, great choice. To my understanding the Augmented Reality is for 2021+ models. However, you can just retrofit it, it's in the mirror and the camera itself is only like $200. Then update the Head Unit and Intelligent Drive ECUs (or pay a sponsor on the forums to do it remotely) to tell the ECUs you have it. You can also pay someone here to enable ILS+, those are disabled by default on all their cars in USA.

Any time I think of the 4.0 I think of the RMS. If claimed or not claimed...I would replace the oil separator on the car. Trust no one....

Thank you. I ended up going for a fully loaded 53 with the executive package. I didn't realize they had the ILS lights that just need to be activated. When I receive the car, I will look into that. Can you tell me more about the retrofit for the AR nav? And a little more on updating the head unit? You mean a software upgrade?

Thank you.

I'm not clear on what you're referring to. But I did go with a 53 instead.

The V8 had an RMS (real main seal) issue it is apparent on M177/M178 mainly rarer on the M176 I guess.
