I noticed a few differences between your car and ours: you have a sport button in the center console and a manual button at the shifter. When you are in manual mode, the dash shows 1 2 3 4 5 6 7. Is yours a 2010?

Isn't it our cars only have 6 speed plus 1 more reverse gear?

Hi, Welcome.

How much you paid for your C350 in HK, I heard it cost almost HKD $700k (USD $90k).

Congrats on the new ride and welcome to mbworld.org!

I noticed you have a different shifter then my '08 C350 (US spec) came with. Looks like the ones our C63's have here.

Thanks guys... My car is actually a 2009. I bought it used. It's a dealer manager's car which is 7 months young with 7000km on it. The original price for the car is HK$720,000 (US92,000) but I bought it for $550,000 (US70,000). I think it's a good deal given the car is in very good condition. And yes, the rims are the ones on the W212 E-class. The dealer said they ordered it with this rim. But I'm considering changing to 19".

Hong Kong charged 100% import tax called "first registered tax" right?

I bought my 09 C350 4Matic in Vancouver and there was no paddle shifters in the options.
Plus, all the 09 C350 did not come with the new mirrors.
I guess all the options seemed to be very different and diverse throught different countries...

I saw at least 4-5 of C350's in HK streets this past april. Driving in HK is a large privilege, hence people take advantage of that by getting the best car they can afford. Getting a parking space is like taking out a new mortgage and cars cost double because of the tax involved. I could only imagine the cost of the C63 being that it's a 6.2L V8 . You can't go through a parking lot and not see an exotic somewhere.
