I believe that with the specifications he chose, one can even set up much worse dash than that and still be satisfied with the value for money with such specs he bui;t. I saw his specifications on the Mbenz forum, and it’s clear to me that he made a great decision by investing all of his hard-earned money into building an exceptional car. Fully loaded.. just like I think these cars should be built. Mbenz has a ton of high-end materials and cabins that am sure has the big potential to even address any left-over creaks and rattles from the prev generation. It’s an S63 afterall.. this car is a true monster.
I agree that the GLS new dash and tech is the way to go. Was super confused when Mbenz didn’t add the latest and greatest to the S. Again, for a true AMG S63, who cares anyway lol about the cabin or tech lol.

In the coming decade, Mercedes and BMW will face a major headache over what to do with their product portfolios. I expect both manufacturers to further reduce their lineup of sedans in favor of more SUV models.
On top of that, there’s the problem that they’ll have to introduce both an ICE model and a second EV model at the same time. This makes production much more expensive. The current 7/5 Series are fortunate in that they support both ICE and EV platforms. The next generation of the 7 Series was supposed to launch as early as June 2029, but since BMW has extended the G70’s production run all the way to October 2032, this may mean they’re struggling to figure out what to do. The new generation of the 7 Series was supposed to be EXCLUSIVELY electric.
