Just curious what all of your "must have" options are when buying your S Coupe?
Depends on your personal priorities for the car and how/where you use it. I will list them by category.
I will not list any cosmetic options (amg pack, designo leather, rims, etc.), as these are purely up to your styling preferences.
For me, the following were must haves:
1. General Safety
-Driver assistance package: multiple systems designed to prevent accidents. Of course computers have not reached a point where they can detect and prevent any crash, but these systems combined will reduce chances of an accident, or at least severity of it, most of the time. Also, as a convenience of this package, you get autonomous driving system Distrionic Plus which I always use in traffic jams or other stop&go traffic.
-night view assistant: If you drive at night in poorly lit areas, where there is a risk of pedestrians or large animals on the road, this will help a lot.
-Head up display: information on navigation, current speed, and current restrictions or speed limit, all displayed on the windshield. You don't need to take your eyes off the road so much.
2. General driving convenience:
-360 degree camera: very good, full of information and useful - especially in crowded cities or car parks. There are demonstration videos on youtube.
-Warmth package (good if you live in a cold area): includes heated central armrest, door panels and steering wheel. Really nice in winter.
-seat comfort package: includes the massage seats - awesome driving home after a long day, or long road trips. Absolutely must have if you ever have back pain.
3. Audio/communication/others
-Universal telephony package. It's a little known detail that this systems also includes an exterior antenna which improves significantly mobile reception. You will have much better coverage and mobile data speeds - helpful if you listen to online radio while driving.
Also, there are some options which are the opposite of "must haves"
-Magic sky control - doesn't make the panoramic roof completely opaque. The car comes with a sunshade in standard that can do this. This is just a gadget to show your friends.
-splitview - when I'm driving, I don't want my passenger watching a movie.
-touchpad - I have it, but would not order it again. I never use it, the control wheel is much more convenient. Also, it has a very cheap plastic feel to it - like 10 year old laptop trackpad cheap.
Anymore questions, I'm glad to answer!
