My First Post
Hi guys,
Just picked this up last week, had 6K miles, CPO, NAV/backup cam, keyless go, premium package, DINAMICA package 18inch wheels and peddle shifters, got an awesome deal couldn't resist with all options.
How's everyone liking their cars? Any mods suggestions? Used to have an A4 and there were plenty of options. TIA

Bought this to change the orange bumper lenses to LED, change all interior to LEDs.

also bought these lights to replace the halogens. These are amazing, better than silverstar or any other ones Ive seen.
Then I'm taking it for a full frontal + hood clear bra protection this weekend.

Nice ride. Those seats looks so much better than a 2011 and below. Pre face lift or Pre FL is what we refer to them here. You have a FL or facelift w204 which is 2012 and up. FL has different dash, headlights, front bumper, tail lights, steering wheel, and a few other things but those are the most obvious. But those seats, I'm not so sure. I drove a 2012 one and didn't look like those. Maybe its a 4matic thing.

The seats are part of the sport package

Right. Just not a popular option. I've seen plenty of cars with AMG wheels, but the other stuff... I think the belts are a bit much for most people. If I could have found a 2013 c300 with both the red belts and lighting package I might have picked it over the 350. It was always one or the other around me.

So slick! Congrats on the nice ride! I really like the red stitches & seat belts. Must be hard to come by such a nice car with full of options, low mileage and CPO. As for mods, my signature has some to start with & lots of resource on forum.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Factory ordered 2012 MB C350 w/Dynamic Handling Package
Looks wise true. But the largest difference (which what initially got me looking into the W204) is the M276 vs M272 engine and the 7G+ vs 7G transmission. If it wasn't for the facelift, I would be in a 2013 Infiniti G37 or a freshly redesigned BMW 328i instead (8-speed with a heads up display).

Agreed. I would have bought a 335 instead if the facelift hadn't happened.

I wish Canadian spec cars had the option of the sport interior with stitching and red belts in 2013. I think they just added it as an option for C350s in 2014.

Right. I noticed a C350 on the lot yesterday with red stitching and just assumed the dealer opted out of the red seatbelt option. Seatbelts wouldn't be hard to retrofit, but the stitching is impossible.

Interestingly I was looking at the G37 as well when I was looking for a car but I didn't like the interior. I read issues with the G37 transmission not being smooth as well and complains of too much road noise. So in the end I went for the C300. But main reason is I like the look of the C class inside and out. At the time, I wasn't really paying too much attention to FL vs pre FL but more importantly, I was looking for one with the most options for my budget. And engine wasn't a factor in my decision. At least not then haha. But knowing what I know now, I'd probably also have a FL c350.

FWIW I understand you can opt for black seatbelts with the sport pack. (I seem to remember it as a no cost option when playing with the build a c class on the mbusa site.)
