2012 C350 Coupe Loaded
Went for Comand update, left with 2012 Coupe!!!
Haha.
Seriously, today I went to get the newest firmware loaded in my 2008 Comand. The service guys were taking forever with it. While I waited I got to talking over this ONLY C350 loaded white coupe with my salesman. After taking it for a spin. The next thing I knew, I was buying it. I was blown away with this car! It is very nice.
By the way, the dealer bricked my Comand MM unit in my 2008 while trying to update it. SA told me they need to replace the entire Comand unit? It was stuck in some Diagnostics screen.
It was working when I arrived. It never had any problems before the update attempt. I was trying to get the update to fix the Boost function when using external MP3 players.
I guess I won't have to worry about it any longer though. I will miss the power fold mirrors and the rear sunshade. The new Coupe does not have those items.
If anyone has any questions in regards to the new Coupe let me know.

2012 C350 Coupe Loaded
I will take some pics when the sun is up. It is white with black interior. The Panorama roof being all black blends very nicely with the white exterior color. There is not many choices at the dealers right now LOL it is like one of 3 in my area. It just hit the showroom floor a couple days ago. They had 1 other C350 and 1 C250 turbo but those two cars didn't have much as far as packages go. This thing has the lane warning stuff (cool yellow led caution signals in the mirros that turn red when there is danger) and the steering wheel tremor when the car starts to drift across into other lanes. Some kind of crazy camera thing in the windshield. Much more powerful than my 08. It shifts a little differently than the C300, though it could be learning my driving style. The gauges are sweet with the color stuff and graphics. The Comand seems like it has a sharper screen. The lighting package is sick. The tail lights look like sweet twin led bars. The front lights have these cool neon looking bulbs that emit a very soft blue light. If anyones going to get one definitely get the lighting package. 
You could say I'm a little exciting about it.

2012 C250 Coupe
Yes, it looks awesome! nice update. I will ask this though, did you get leather? I have not yet seen a coupe with MB-tex interior, was wondering if you still get contrasted color stitching?

I was at my dealership a couple weeks ago and got a chance to see the C350 coupe in person.... It was fully loaded like yours. Absolutely loved it. The seats are so much nicer than our sedans, very sporty. The stitching on the seats is another good touch. I also like how the front seats automatically slide forward when I pulled the lever to get to the back seat.
Congrats!

C350 Coupe
My dealer has one on the floor which I looked over this week. I looked at the window sticker and was momentarily surprised at the 43K price until I also noticed that it had no options. Nothing.
The car does look a lot better in person than in photos, though. I did notice the stitching on the vinyl seats.
But, since the coupe version of the W205 has been shown in a German magazine, I would wait, personally.

So for fun, I built two with the options I would choose. A C350 Coupe totalled out to $50835 with a C350 sedan at $49040. I was surprised at the difference of only $1795. Used to be that for every door removed, MB tacked on $10,000.
The stock wheels on the 350 coupe are a new design 17" which look like the 18s with thicker spokes. Almost.
