C250 4matic
Smile New to MB World

Hi everyone, I have recently purchased a C250 4 matic and i must say im very impressed, especially with winter driving. There's pros and cons about MB w204 but I belive I made a good choice. Here" couple of pics of the car before pic up and after few mods I've already done: 8k HIDs, LED eyebrows, LED fogs, LED tails, tint 35%, trunk spoiler, 18" wheels staggered, ECU tuning, media, rearview camera, etc.

C250 4Matic, Mercrdes-Benz makes these? I do not think that is right, especially when I see the dual exhaust. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Yup. US did not get a pre-facelift C250 which is a 2.5 liter V6. US also did not get a pre-facelift C350 4matic.

Hey Fani better invest on dedicated winter tires specially on Edmonton winters. Don't assume the 4matic is enough as it is not. Good deals on winter tires are coming up as Spring is just on the horizon.

c250w4m, congrats on the purchase and welcome to mbworld! You got some good mods there for a fresh owner
For the LED tail light, did you have to reprogram the SAM or do anything special (resister, buzz noise cancel)? The common issue I have heard with retrofitting facelift LED tail light on pre-facelift is the yellow section always on. Do you have the same issue? I am thinking of doing it.

Thank you! Purchased tails of ebay, just plug and play, no issues so far, no SAM reprogramming, no error codes. There is a bit of buzz noise I can hear when I open the trunk lid but it does not bother me at all.
