<div class="bbWrapper">Hi everyone. Picking up a 2017 E63s this week. Visually it has almost the perfect spec - black paint, black forged 20” wheels and performance seats. It’s missing a few options which I think may make it harder to sell in the future - 360 cam, HUD and pan roof.. would lack of these put anyone in the market looking for this type of car off?</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">This is only my opinion, the lack of 360 Cam and the HUD<br /> wouldn't bother me one bit, but for me personally the pan<br /> roof is a must, and also again personally i don't like black cars or black wheels, but hey<br /> there are plenty that do, and when clean, black cars do look fantastic, but sounds like a fantastic car, pics please when you get it.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big Grin :D" data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big Grin :D" data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">^Nothing wrong with all black I''ll have you know<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /><br /> As above, I specifically looked for a light interior first of all, followed by panoramic roof and 360 camera.<br /> There will be buyers who are not too fussy, but some options are a must for others.<br /> <br /> OP, the car sounds like a cracker<img src="/styles/mbclub/smilies/thumb.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":thumb:" title="Thumb :thumb:" data-shortname=":thumb:" /></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Obviously the more options it has the easier it will sell, but don't let that spoil the joy of your ownership. It sounds like you are putting a dark cloud over it before you have even collected it. It is an amazing car, enjoy it now, worry about selling it when that time comes.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Thanks everyone but there’s a spanner in the works. <br /> <br /> The cars on a private reg currently and when speaking to hpi.com they said I can do a check on the private reg but would need to update the search on the original reg before they can guarantee their search. The owner doesn’t want to remove the reg as they plan to keep the car if i don’t buy it. So this leaves me in a predicament.. should I just give a small deposit to the owner and ask him to start the process to get the old reg back on, or do the check on the current private plate and update the check once the new V5 comes back and hope for the best. Seller seems genuine but it’s a lot of money</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Just ask the owner for the original reg no and get hpi to check it.</div>

Seeing behind you is helpful, but seeing all around the car and an aerial view is a huge benefit when parking/getting through tight spots/pulling up to curbs........................<br /> <br /> Pan roof is great to have and I would miss it if I didn't have one.<br /> HUD is great to have, although I always use it I could learn to live without it.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Sliding pan roof is a game changer as it makes the car look more aggressive when opened. Also let’s light in to the car so you can appreciate the beautiful architecture. <br /> <br /> HUD is useless in my opinion but for resale purposes it’s very important as it’s considered an expensive option. <br /> <br /> Burmester sounds is a must because the silver speaker caps look awesome, and the sound is alright too. <br /> <br /> Buckets are great and rare-ish since you see a lot of regular E’s with them but not so many S’. Although the leather and alcantara regular seats are incredibly comfortable. <br /> <br /> You need at least a reverse camera if not 360. <br /> <br /> My fav wheels are the black forged ones - saying that they make the car look like a drug dealers car; nonetheless awesome shoes.</div>
