It's been a long 5-month wait...but it's finally here!
I'll spare everyone the numerous pictures, cuz we've just about seen it all on this forum. (Unless someone wants me to post pictures of anything specific.)
Fully loaded C300: Arctic White, Grey/Black Leather, PII, AMG 18", MM, Pano, iPod, TeleAid, Auto.
Initial impressions:
The fit an finish is stellar! Better than any Audi or BMW I have ever owned. Pano is fuggin kick ***! I was a little worried about the look of grey/black leather mixed with white and pano mixed with the aluminum trim, but finally seeing it in the flesh, it looks spectacular! The stitching of the leather adds a heck of a lot to the interior look IMHO. I have been an iDrive user for many years and the MB iteration of it is pretty damn good. You don't need a manual to figure it out. All the technology seems to work well together from the MID to the MM display to all the knobs and buttons. They are easy to use and very intuitive. The ride seems to be a perfect blend of sport and luxury. I've owned an M3, 740, 5-series bimmers...and its falls right in between the feel of a 3 series and the 5 series. The lighting inside and out is very appealing...I like the little touches like the amber LEDs on the rear door pulls.
Not many complaints, other than that there isn't enough storage! The glove box can't even fit the books and manuals properly! I stuffed it in the boot next to the bike tire. Also, the iPod interface is pretty lame. It should be detachable. And I don't like the fact that it replaces the standard aux input. It should be in addition to...
I can't wait to get past break-in period to open 'er up. I'm geekin out on the Sirius, card reader, and MM... I activated my TeleAid so I will be testing out Search and Send here pretty soon!
