Picking up my C300 in exactly 11 hours from now

Hi

I am new to this forum. I'll be owning a Mercedes for the first time in my life in 11 hours from now. Its 3:30am now and I can't sleep! I just bought a 2012 C300 Sedan white in colour with the super slick all black panoramic roof and FULLY LOADED with all available options....windows are already tinted. I'm currently driving a 2006 Bmw 3 series but can't wait to find out and enjoy what Mercedes has to off. The funny thing is I bought the C300 from a BMW dealership LOL....kinda weird walking into a BMW dealership to come out with a Mercedes....but anyways the first thing that came to my mind when I first saw the car was like "HOLY **** this car is beautiful!" I couldn't help it but to have a big smile on face knowing that I'll be buying this car. Gonna post some pics soon!

How many different versions of the C class are there? Luxury and sport were the only options I thought. I didn't even know you could get a panoramic roof

MyManDan26, you are correct, there are only two versions of the C class (sport and luxury). However, panoramic roof is an additional option

The pano roof is the only option I wish I could have on my car. You're a lucky guy

I thought the same but drove a w205 with pano for a week and did not care for it afterwards.

Congrats on the new car! The pano option seems to be pretty common on the C350's. Mine has it and most of the other C350's I have seen have it. it is a nice feature and looks good, just make sure you get some ceramic tint on it as otherwise you'll be cooking 😁

Hey guys thanks for the warm welcome! I've had the car for about 9 days now and I LOVE IT. The only i didn't like was the wood trim but that problem is solved just last night I spent 5 hours wrapping the trims with the new 4d Carbon Fiber Vinyl which looks absolutely AMAZING. I also manage to wrap the mid bumper lip glossy black to give it the more sporty look. Took the car out for a photoshoot earlier...let me know what you think.

Nice, congrats. The panoramic sunroof looks extra nice on white as it clashes.

Nice look man - those wheels really work on the car.

Options wise from your pics, it looks like you have Premium 1, Panoramic roof, COMAND Launch S32 (Single disc DVD player - the eject button is different on S34/Multimedia Package cars), Lighting Package, Reverse Camera, Burl Wood, the dealer accessory wheels and Parktronic. That's a rather high spec car you found yourself there, and the Lighting Package itself is very rare on the 2012s due to limited production. Do you have MB-Tex (perforated seats) or Full Leather (non-perforated)?

My guess would be MB-Tex. Or the OP would of taken pictures of the passenger side memory seat controls.

Memory on the driver's side comes with the Premium 1 package. Dynamica centers means you have the sport plus package. MB-Tex looks like leather but has perforated centers.

Yea unfortunately I don't have the memory seats. I have seen over 10 c300s locally and have not seen 1 with the memory seats. I was starting to think that was exclusively for c350.

Thanks bro...I used the Canon 5d mark iii with 50mm 1.4 lens. The wrapping of the 3 piece (centre trim + ashtray and gear box trim) took me about 4 hours to do....half the time spent figuring out how to take apart the trim....The wrapping isn't instead too hard once you get the hang of it its actually pretty ez to do. The center trim was the hardest to do cause I couldn't figure out how to take the silver border thingy that borders the vents out therefore i had to use a really thin medal looking tooth pick to push in the vinyl before the trim...that part alone took like 25mins to do. Overall it was damn worth it...my buddy saw the cf i did and now he's interested in doing it to his car as well. The vinyl i got was made by Teckwrap these are by far the nicest looking cf vinyl I've seen specially the 4d hologram looking cf with the glossy layer topping.
