I have to choose between the following:

Ext Color: White
Interior Color: Black
Premium 1&2 (1 is standard on the 350)
Multimedia
Ipod Integration
18" AMG wheels
Panorama Top

or

Ext Color: Paladium Silver
Interior Color: Black with Light Grey seats/trim
Premium 1 (1 is standard on the 350)
Multimedia
Ipod Integration
18" AMG wheels

Difference between the two cars is Color and Prem 2/Panorama on the white, not on the silver one.

I am torn. Not sure if I will love white, but its starting to grow on me. The paladium silver is probably a better color for a guy to have lol. What are your thoughts??? What guys have a white one on here and do you regret the color?

Setting aside the color question (my car is Barolo Red), if you don't get he P2 package you will regret it later.

There will now be a load of posts saying "I don't need folding seats or BiXenon headlights or LED rear turn lights blah blah..."

I've seen plenty of buyer's remorse posts on this list from those who did not buy P2 and now wish they had.

I picked steel gray panorama roof + P1 over white P2 w/ regular moon roof and I am not regretting, the only feature I would love to have is the bi-xenon, but I am not dying over it..
Sure, it's nice to have folding rear seats and sun shade, but they are more of a gadget than practical use..headlight washer & corner illuminating fog lights are pretty useless if you ask me..

That been said, if the price is the same, I would go w/ the white one as I think white with panorama roof looks better than silver w/ standard moon roof...

IMO, white has to go w/ panorama roof, regular moon roof on white just looks weird..
Other metallic color w/ regular moon roof is okay, but panorama roof just makes the car that much better..

The only disappointment I have is not getting MM as I later found out Audio 20 system will not streaming audio over bluetooth..
I was planning on using my Nokia N85 as bluetooth music player as well as GPS w/ Garmin Mobile XT and stream directions over BT..
But I think I can fix the problem with UMI upgrade which will add BT audio streaming along w/ a few other features..

I ordered a 09 C350 P1 in Palladium Silver with the Panorama Roof. Should be arriving in June

I would go with the White and get the P2 option and Pano. I have a Obsidian Black coming with the exact same options + TeleAid. White with the Pano will look great.

I contacted MBUSA in regard to Tele Aid being an option on the C. I have used that in emergency situations and it is well worth the price. In addition you can Send and Save your nav routes from your home computer, as well as have a location device in case the car is ever stolen. A bean counter move by MBUSA!

We have a white 350 with 18"s and pano, P2 and love it. The pano is not that big of a deal though. If you are driving you will not notice it is a pano, only the people in the back seat really do and they will say "hey look, two sun roofs." If you like the exterior look of the black top then get it.

DEF the white..and white with pano is more agressive/manly than most color combos on the C.

I love my white C!

Then again i only like white in any car/truck

Go with White w/Pano Roof. looks good. just ordered one a month ago still waiting for it. can't wait.... 3 more weeks

I have black C220 CDI.
Silver was nice color for W203.
I've seen few silver W204 and look quite blunt to me.
Go for white.

silver is a boring car color... it's just like bare metal =/

white, on the other hand, looks really sick on most mercedes, and spectacular on the C class

Go White!

cjh.

Get the white one for sure. The P2 package looks like it's worth it, looking back. There have been many times I wish my rear seat folded and my headlights were xenons.

P2 critical. Don't even consider buying a car without BiX - you will regret it.

Thanks everybody. I'm still torn but likely going with the white. I like it now, but I just hope I like it a couple of years from now. I feel like I would always like the palladium silver color down the road. But, with P2 and Panorama...the white looks really hot. Sometimes though, you tell people you have a white car...and they're like "oh a chick's color". Without after market wheels...I just hope it doesnt look like a woman's mercedes...lol

If you like the white it matters not what people think or feel about a white car. I had a White S550 and all I got was compliments. You will have a great car and enjoy driving it... the color makes no difference to anybody but you.

My wife just got a 2009 C350 Palladium Silver with P2/MM/iPod-Kit -- the way exactly we wanted it.

First our dealer didn't have the exact car that we wanted, so we called around to the other local dealers. There was a dealer about 40 miles from our dealer, and it had the car that we wanted in stock.

The sales at our dealer than drove over to that dealer to fetch the car for us, at a price that was lower than that dealer offered ($2K below invoice, that was at 12/08.)

Don't limit yourself to those two cars that you posted... There are plenty of cars at the dealers as well as at the ports. Call aorund, or ask your sales to search using his computers, and find the exact car that you like. It is your money, don't settle for anything less.

With best regards,

Oh Cool

One more vote for the White/Black interior with Pano Roof & P2 here. The Combo is hot.

justthinking

Well..if you are worried about ppl think you have a chick's car, here is an idea..
How about getting BLACK GRILL, BLACK RIMS, SMOKED SIDE MARKER & SMOKED REAR LIGHT..
I bet no one will say it's a chick's car w/ these bad *** mods... :p

BTW, does the white C350 comes w/ rear trunk spoiler?

FrankW

I'd go with the second choice.

grey interior gets the two-tone dash as well as door panel. make it whole lot easier to the eye instead of the somber all black interior.

I have a white one with grey interior. i can live with different exterior color, but I can't live with all black interior that looks ...well cheap. don't regret not having the P2 since I'll be looking for the 63 bi-xenon with black housing in the future. LED tail light are not that expensive if you have parts hook up.

Paladium silver!!

+1, Whatever they don't have, they'll drive to get or receive from the port within 2-4 weeks easy. Get the color(s) and option(s) that you want, no questions asked.

Nevada Jack

Agree.

My Denver dealer did not have a Tele Aid equipped C350 so he went to the port in Maryland and had the car shipped to Denver for me. Should take delivery in about 3-4 days... they will be trucking car to my home in Las Vegas from Denver for delivery.

if silver is the color u really want go for it, the p2 is nice but not a "must have" in my opinion, the pano roof is nice again but again not a "must have" i have the silver and i love it, but honestly the white is nice too, im assuming the price is diff so go silver but if its the same price for both then i would say go for the extra options, lol white is still a manily color
