2027 Order In (E53ES4) - Forced Options and No Pricing
My dealership FINALLY received an allocation (5 month wait) and we were successfully able to place the order with MB. July allocation with a September delivery. There's currently no base price for the 2027 (only option prices), so I have no idea what the total is at this point, and it's also forcing me to take a package that I don't want. I'm not interested in the Driver's Assistance Package, but every time we tried to uncheck it in the ordering system, it wouldn't let us. Has anyone else experienced this, or have any insight here? It's not a make or break, but I don't want/need the package, and I'm not excited about having to pay an extra $1,950 for it.

I know that this is not at all helpful, but the DAP is often seen as a “must” and not having it could potentially limit your resale value/appeal. At a vehicle of this price, the features of the driving assistance package are expected.

I would go ahead and order with the DAP to ensure your allocation and try to delete after your order is set. I added several options before my 450 was in the build process so I know you can change things while your order is in the cue. I personally would get the bird in hand and work on deleting the option later. Incidentally, I ordered my 25 450 without the DAP as I prefer to drive my car myself. Don’t really care about resale plus or minus.
As far as base price, nobody has that info on pre-year orders as was in my case as well. I’d just figure around 2k + or - on the new model as compared to the 26 model year.

Your advice on the order is spott on. Order it without any special requests and the change things once the order is in the system and progressing but before being locked. It could be though that in 2027 the DAP is standard and cannot be removed.

My early 2026 allocation was changeable surprisingly late in the game…up until about a week before the build date. Plenty of time for details to emerge about new colors, options, packages, etc. (I specifically did not want DAP either; it did not impact resale of the 2022 wagon I also ordered without it.)

I originally asked for a build/allocation in January. I was in no hurry, and at the time, they were still doing '26's. I don't "need" a vehicle until December of this year. I was planning way in advance, not thinking it would take 5 months or a model year change. The wait wasn't a big deal.
