'12 C350 Coupe
Hello! New here w/C350!

Hey everyone,

I had originally been planning on getting an E92 M3 but decided on getting this awesome car after I stopped by the MB dealer to take a look. It's everything I want and much more

To me, the C350 coupe is so much more practical than the M3 - as I'll be daily driving this baby quite the distance. Having been in my fair share of MBs, I can't say I've ever seen or wanted to own one - always thought of them as cars for the "older folk". Anyways, the revamped C-Class is not only amazing to behold but also sit in. It's ridiculously quiet and the standard Harmon Kardon audio system is rather nice!

Anyhow, I searched the entire west coast and finally got my '12 Arctic White C350 Coupe. Here's what she's got:
  • 18" AMG 7 Spoke Wheels
  • Parktronic
  • Blind Spot + Lane Keeping Assist
  • Black MB-Tex
  • Premium Package (std. here in the US)

I got an awesome price, $2,500 under invoice! Here's a quick night shot of it I took with my cell phone the night I got her. High-res pictures coming soon once I drop her off for tinting tomorrow.

No, I don't think he has lighting package. The turn signals on the bottom don't extend all the way through the housing and the light in the Lighting Package has a very distinct C on the side and the beam is focused through a projector.

@amaycg: You're absolutely right; the low quality cell phone picture makes it hard to tell, but I do not have that lighting package - it seemed super hard to find, but I'm in the process of ordering the parts necessary and having it installed for me.

@hellasmania219: I honestly think the stock lights are fine, there is nothing wrong with them; but frankly the lighting package gives the car an even nicer look - you can use that to your advantage as I did with pricing. I told them I wanted the lighting package and since they didn't have it I would have to go and spend money to buy the parts/labor.

please keep me posted on the HID upgrade as this is the first MOD i want to do!

I would be willing to retro fit OEM bi-xenons at the expense of loosing auto-tilt and cornering.

I am planning the same thing ASAP as i just signed for the car... too impatient to custom order.

The car still looks amazing and once you do the lighting mods, it will be even more incredible. I'm too scared to set up HIDs on my car so kudos to you david. happy motoring!
