Yes, and we Canadian also get an extra 40 hp when you get the turbos to spool-up during winter at -20 F

Absolutely. I'm going to create a build thread when I get my car just like I did with my R63 to document all mods and my experiences with my car.

The seat parts for the passenger side is looking to be around $4,000 right now (without labor). The complication is that only in the US (maybe Canada too) is that we have a weight sensing system (WSS) build into the seat that Europe doesn't have. The WSS is connected with the passenger airbag and will shut it off if the weight on that seat is below a certain threshhold. The retrofitter I'm using, MBenzNL in the Netherlands, is not sure if the WSS is stitched in with the leather on the US cars or not. If it is stitched in then we're going to have a problem making it compatible with the new seat leather from Europe which won't have WSS. If it's simply a removable pad that's between the seat foam and seat leather then we'll be fine. So I am waiting for my car to come in first so we can take the seat apart and look before ordering the parts.

Are you sure you don't mean the night pack? One of our members was just told by a knowledgeable MBS dealer that it is not available on the 2015s.

That does not agree with the current version of the 2015 DOG.

In fact, for 2015 the AMG Night Styling option (P60) has been enhanced to include black window trim for all models and also black roof rails on the wagon.

Same price as 2014... $750

You are correct as that was my understanding as well. I guess what the dealer meant when telling this to our member is that the package has delayed availability. I got screwed with the forged wheels in a similar way. Was told that they were not available for November production and if I wanted them I would have to delay to a December or January build which I could not afford to do given that I want the car in January to take advantage of the better of the holiday promotions and or fleet money.

I wish Mercedes simply offered blacking out of the window frames only a la BMW sport package. I like that look but at least on the lunar blue I ordered I didn't want to go with the blacked out everything look. Had I gotten white or maybe iridium silver blacked out everything would've been great.
