C220 CDI - 2013
Quick questions before buying new W204 2012
Hey there,
I am planning to buy an C200 CDI 2012, that has everything I wish for; AMG package interior/exterior, panorama roof, automatic, navi,park etc.
Although there is one thing which is bugging me, which are the headlamps! They are the halogen models, and I would like to ask 1) if it is possible to change to the bixenon version at any time?
2) If yes, does it require much other work than just buying from e.g ebay, remove current and plug and play the new ones ? If yes, what should you be aware of?
3) And is there anything I need to look out for before buying this car? Maybe any feature option in the car thats nice to have?
Thanks

A few things to note:
1) If interested in performance:
> A simple plug-in is available from Berger Tuning, increasing torque by 40 ft-lbs.
> A high performance shock system is an available option in 2013, and might be available in 2012 models also
2) let readers know more about you, see this thread:

C220 CDI - 2013
Just got a great new offer on a C220 CDI , White, adaptive bixenon headlights, amg package, pano roof, nav, parktronic etc so my worries for bixenon headlights is solved although i have one need:
It says "CD Stereo" - does this have AUX or not ? And is there any way to install AUX afterwards if it does not have AUX? Also if it has Bluetooth handsfree, does this mean that you also can play songs through bluetooth?

To answer my own questions, since I now got the vehicle :-))
New W204 2013 comes as standard (in Sweden atleast) with AUX,USB when it says "CD Stereo"
And for the Bluetooth, Bluetooth streaming is also included ofcourse if it says Bluetooth handsfree phone.
And the car I got has the lighting package, and it's awesome!! Adaptive bixenon with curve lights really does do it.
