I did it through the dealership for convenience and did not shop around, so likely over paid. They charged 799 for the tints and clear bra was 1400 using Xpel ultimate/ stealth . Its annoying that customer are out of pocket, correcting the night package. I hope other SA make sure other customers are aware of this issue,

Interesting, I did not know that. I've been using the parking assist quite a lot here in Europe, but not the parking pilot feature with the phone because I figured that was part of the connect features that are turned off till I get to the States. I would have asked them more about this at delivery time when I picked the car up had I known.
Dropped the car off this afternoon and fly back to the states tomorrow morning. Then five or six weeks to wait till the car shows up. Maybe they'll have enabled the feature by then.
One a related note, they were saying the US cars don't get the multi-beam LED headlights, but my car has them (and they're pretty darn cool). Maybe there's a different even better version for European versions, or maybe they'll swap them out at the VPC. I hope not.

Found this and Mercedes put it in writing that 2018 model will get this!!

3 more sleepless nights...

Ill post another thread but it was easy, just 4 adjustments on the links under the car. As for the R8 mine is a Gen 2 and I really enjoy it thus far- I want to hold on a nice V10 N/A engine with that amazing sound.

looks great! How long did it take them to drop the car? Does the vehicle lift still work to raise the car high enough to clear steep driveways and curbs?

It took a total of 45min from rack to de-rack and yes the lift button still works. Even with the drop the car is still very high compared to my other cars.

thank you!

So is the car lowered through a mechanical adjustment rather than electronic? My old E500 is lowered using the washer technique which fools the sensors into sensing that the car is riding too high, and then lowers the car.

You can get inexpensive drop links - some of them come pre-sized and others are adjustable.
Generally around $130 or so per set.
A new folks make digital lowering modules $1200 - $2.3K (The numbers are the SKU number)
Lorinser: L323 2000 40 -- $2300
Brabus: 213-108-00 -- $1700
Renntech: 32.222.6001 -- $1200
There is a few more but you get the idea
Most of these Digital ones will auto raise the hight back to standard after a set speed.
This is a great feature but "way to rich" for my blood.
I would stick with drop links any day
I use to do it to my previous AMG's and currently have the drop links on my wife's Cayenne TT.
But we have since moved into a new place that has a very steep driveway,
I had to sell the Maserati GT as it could not get up the driveway at all.
My old e63 scraped its way up - I am hoping the raised suspension is going to help out here.
