Yea, I am thinking of an M3 sometimes myself. Still, a long ways away from it, since this car is still fairly new.

I like the wood, if you've seen the wood on the luxury cars, noticec the chrome strip that is present, I think that's a nice touch. My other Merc also came with this black birdseye maple wood.

The digital climate control systems has its ups and downs. Not too big of a deal.

The key to get in and out of the car and start the car will be more beautiful. However, you can always create new keys at your dealership and they will feature this upgrade.

The current C Class Sport sedans have leather on the front seats as standard (only for the seating surfaces). In 2007, the car will only have vinyl. That's not a good thing.
those are only standard in the C350 I believe.

the exhaust is going to be the one originally from the C32.

Actually, the C230 Sport shares most of the similar upgrades that they're doing to the C350 Sport.

Oh well, it's not like you missed anything super important. I'm missing the A/C system. But you've already got a digital one.

I do like the black wood. Aluminum in a car is cool ONLY IF WHEN YOU TOUCH IT, IT'S GOT A COLD FEELING. The one on the C isn't thick enough nor of very high quality aluminum to provide this feeling. If you've seen the 06 Audi A4 with the aluminum trimmed interior, that one feels cold. The BMW M3 with the aluminum interior feels very cold.
