Launch edition E63s or Regular car?

What is the difference between the launch edition and the standard E63S? My dealer has one of each coming in the the magno color in Black for the launch and Selenite for the standard car?

Anything special about the launch edition?

In the US the edition is the only one you can get in Magno. It does have yellow stitching inside which isn't preferable to me but I really want the matte black hence why I'll deal with it. Also one thing the edition 1 doesn't have that I wish did was a dynamica headliner. Lastly you may want the reg car for the reason it has non performance seats which are much plusher then the performance seats the edition 1 comes with (performance seats may be on the reg car order coming in anyways).

Great! Thanks guys I think I might do the launch edition as I really like the yellow stitching. It's a bit more money but hope the resale will be better on the launch car. Dealer told me they should have them released at the end of august here in Cali!

If you want the special stitching, go for it - but I definitely wouldn't factor resale into this decision. You'll almost certainly be disappointed.

That mr amg video also mentioned that he didn't get the 360 camera as it wasn't available at that time... that would have been a deal breaker for me

How is this possible?

You’ve got a VIN so it must be a built car eh? Up here we can’t get them and they only come in matte grey...

Comparing the E1 build sheet to the dealer ordering guide, it looks like 233 and 266 covers the quasi-autonomous functions.

So without being the negative guy just to voice this I have heard from my dealer end of June, then end of July, and now of course end of August. So although we all have heard end of August I'm not holding my breath!
