Hi All, Made my decision and putting an order in for a 2021 E53 Coupe. I have the DOG and here is what I'm thinking...

989 Emerald Green
RZS 20" Matte Black or RTA 19" Grey (will powder coat to Matte Black)
884 Saddle brown/Black Nappa leather
736 Natural Grain Black Ash
DA2 Driver assistance package
DA4 Advanced Lighting
DC1 AMG night package
399 Multicontour seats with massage (wife requirement)
401 Heated and ventilated front seats
463 Heads up display
540 Power rear sunshade
811 Burmester 3D surround sound
883 Soft Close doors
U78 Performance exhaust
P21 Air Balance Package
U19 Augmented Video
21U Dashcam
293 Rear Side Airbags
5U6 Dark Tinted Grille

I will get PPF and window tint after receipt and if I get the 19" rims will have them black matte powder coated.

What does everyone think of the build?? Any thoughts on the 19 vs 20" rims?
I'll take any and all comments. This is my first MB, coming out of BMW 550 and Corvette.

Thanks all...

If you’re in AZ you don’t care but look for winter tire option thru dealer. Great spec

Did you do a test drive on the E63 to compare? We did and went 63 for reasons that were glaringly obvious when you do. Different vehicles completely.

Sadly they don’t make a e63 coupe this year. You can only get it in the sedan.

I think his point is that the 63 is a "true" AMG and has all the AMG performance features that you either have to add in or not available in the 53. For me, it's all about the V8.

Looks like a fantastic build ,do you have an idea of delivery time ?
I'm planning to order an E450 cabriolet soon and was thinking about the Emerald Green color . Did you seen a vehicle in that actual color before making the decision and also did you consider any other interior colors such as Beige or Red/Black . I have the added decision regarding the convertible top ,but I assume it will be Dark Brown ?
Any comments would be very much appreciated .

I’ve seen the emerald green and really like it with the night package. The beige interior offered on the e53 was too light for my taste. I’m not sure what the non amg version options are for interior.

Build looks great. I have a 2019 E53, love it. Good call on the soft close doors, wife’s X5 has it and small details you miss. My preference is the 20s, the size/profile looks great

Saw an Emerald green coupe yesterday . In the sun it looked black until I saw it from different angles when the green was shining through like a highlight . Very special and exotic color ,especially with the night package .
I agree that the beige is very light and to me , uninviting . I don't like all black interiors which leaves me with option of Saddle or Red/Black interior. I also have the choice of Dark Brown or Black soft top.
These are the problems of the modern world !

I ordered a 2021 E53 Coupe in late July 2020 and the vehicle wasn’t delivered until last week of April 2021

I would recommend just going with the std wheels and spend your money on aftermarket wheels to better personalize your vehicle.

I would personally leave out the 3D sound system and the rear window sunshade. The 3D sound system is a pricey option and don't see it being worth the cost. Since you are going to tint the windows, it seems redundant get the sunshades.

I agree. Small cabin and I don’t miss the 3D sound, plus you lose the sunglasses holder for what it’s worth

3D sound is the best option on these cars for those that have it, myself included. If you're anywhere near an audiophile it's necessary.
