How would you spec differently next time?

[KensingtonPark]

Its not too late for this one.

Thanks! Yes. I'm considering that, but I have already ceramic coated the car, and I would have to remove it in order to get that badge on. The fact that I'm considering it is the reason I was suggesting that I wouldn't de-badge.

I regret,
Passenger display, there are lot’s of ways to configure the main display to fit your needs
Turbo wheels, lot’s of cool aftermarket wheels are now available, not available when I ordered
Folding mirrows, the car looks ugly when folded?

I should have taken the motorised charge port, small investment but cool feature/looks better.

I have the acoustic glass and a toll device with no issues. The manual deals with this specifically:

I still wouldn't get the thermally insulated glass again

interesting....I’ve specced it in mine but the order isn’t frozen yet.
why wouldn’t you order it again?Is it just the phone / toll booth issues?

black window surrounds

You could get window surrounds vinyl wrapped, but I'm not sure how well it holds.

Yes, and I needed to have a radar detector installed. There was no chance a radar detector would work with that insulation.

I was worried about the same thing and went with the regular glass. I don’t mind the regular glass. FYI @evanevery designed a custom bracket as a solution. Details are on the Modifications section.

I see, I guess that’s not a concern for me.
I wonder how much quieter it is than standard ....that’s really my reasoning for having it

Not sure. I guess its "cool". Built in radar detector is actually really slick and works very well. Very expensive but worth it.

I had a look on the configurator and there's not much I'd change from my 4S. Someone mentioned that the ski bag now gets you the 40:20:40 split without having the 4+1 seats and I think I might have gone for that.

Otherwise I have volcano grey with black extended leather interior and maybe red interior with black seat centres would have been good. I have the 20in Turbo Aero wheels for winter and the 21 Exclusives in black for summer. Looking forward to the 21s but to be honest the 20s look great.

What I'd really like is a luggage net that fits the hooks in the trunk, has anyone found one?

I love my car, but if I were to do it over, I’d do the following:

1. Carrara white instead of Volcano grey
2. Add sport design package in carbon fiber (I have the carbon fiber aeroblade wheels)
3. Add exterior mirror upper trim in carbon fiber
4. Delete passenger display (my passengers never use it)
5. Atacama/Basalt Black Olea Club Leather interior instead of Basalt Black Olea (I wish I had color contrast inside)
6. Add massage seats
7. Keep the Burmester sound system, it’s great.

+1 on that!

I have bought the trunk (boot) net for the current Mercedes E- Class wagon (estate) and it works great. Around 40€ if I remember correctly.

All the driving assist stuff ist waste of money to me.

Glas roof gives a very nice open air feel
Sport Sound much cooler than I tought at first, though I admit it's a bit a show off for the kids and passers-by
Sport Chrono a must in a Porsche
I love rear steering, too; if you live on the country side, you can spare, of course
Love seat cooling (in a few months)
PDCC is amazing, but doesn't change the world
