In Aust, the Bose sound system, parking sensors, rain sensors and sat nav were options. I don't have any on mine, couldn't really careless about them. One thing I would have liked is the retractable side mirrors, it's mentioned in the owners manual but not sure if that was the US/Euro only option.
All those things were options in Europe, including the power folding side mirrors. Steve at MBenzNL put the mirrors in for me a couple of years ago and they are handy in tight spots like my parking garage. Doing the job right requires swapping in a new lower center console trim panel to accommodate the switch. The same outside shell for the mirror stays in place so no painting is required.
