Not to worry: I bought the car in the US and brought it with me when I moved here.

Correction to my reply...

my previous W204 C 220 CDI was Sindelfingen,
my new W204 C 63 is Bremen.

I was astonished and still have no clue why it's from Bremen. (Korean specificed vehicles (847) carry a factory option code 835 (parts, for South Korea, which I thought was only managable through Sindelfingen)

Perhaps all C 63's are simply via Bremen.

If I remember right since they are AMG all C63's come from Bremen.
