Thanks for the reply, that’s very cool. I never heard of the Edition 1 until i bought this one. I wonder if the limited production will hold its value?

Mercedes often create launch edition that are head scratchers, either including or excluding options. Because they can't be configured new, it's either a hit or miss.
Enjoy! Greatest top-down car one can get

Agree completely. All Edition1's listed at $123,905 with no options. The $17,500 Edition1 Package included just about all options you could order. Mine has 15k miles and is worth hopefully
$45k or $50. I didn't buy it as in investment, however, I bought it to drive and enjoy! With Designo Paint, Designo Red Leather, Designo Black Piano Trim and AMG wheels, I just love the car. For me, the Designo packages are well worth the extra $, UNTIL you sell the car, then you certainly won't get your money back!

Does anyone know how to go about getting the red/black steering wheel that is standard in Europe? Perhaps a German MB dealership? Would a Euro steering wheel even fit the US car specs? I could always go the upholstery shop route, but then you never know if they can match the fabric correctly.
