I have a suggestion. Take your photos as you drive around Germany. Show your car in front of typical German scenes: in front of a medieval Rathaus, a narrow street of half-timbered houses, at an open-air farmers' market by the side of a cathedral, etc. See my signature below. I'm sorry I didn't take more photos after I took delivery in Sindelfingen. But when I drive to Germany, I'm mostly parked in front of the homes of my wife's relatives and friends.

Hey Vlad,

Did you manage to speed up the delivery of your car by collecting it yourself? I am considering picking it up from Stuttgart also if it makes it faster

XPS

Wow, I wish they offered the cranberry leather seats on the C300.

The Godfather

What country are you in? It's available in the US on the C300 -as I have it.

XPS

I live in Canada. The MB website only allows the cranberry leather in the C400. Maybe its just the website (i hope!)

The Godfather

I just took a look at the CA website. The packages and options available are different there than in the US... I'd venture to say that you're correct in that there is no cranberry option for the 300.

XPS

No cranberry :'(

It hurts to hear it.

I realize when configuring a C300 on Mercedes Canada site, you cannot chose Cranberry Leather, but I thought my sales person did mention to me that you can order a C300 with Cranberry Leather.

On a side note looks like my C400 will arrive and be ready for pick up within the next few days.

I'll post pics, I'm a bit excited. : )

The Godfather

Well XPS. I'd ask the dealer first just to be sure!

...how ours looked at delivery:

Did you buy the "Mystery Benz" .. or why would they go through such theatrical distractions?

eddieo45

it was a gift for my lovely wife......

juwivive

It's so the customer feels "special", instead of having the car handed over in a rainy car park outside. I had it with an Alfa Romeo once (no rosette, though).

DBOC205

Ahh it was a surprise, I see. Nice touch. Now next question, how do I get onto your gift register

Just picked up my black C300 4Matic today. I got the Canadian premium package which includes the COMMAND Navigation, back up camera and panoramic roof. I like the fact that the roof pillars are black, as is the roof lining. Nicer (to me anyway) than the beige roof pillar trim. It also has the aluminium/piano black interior.

The suspension is the comfort version, as my last car was a 2011 C250 4Matic and it always felt a bit like a snow plow when there was a heavy slow fall. Only thing is I think I over compensated and now have SUV clearances on the wheels lol. Maybe will think about H&R springs to compensate by 2"". Will wait and see how I feel in a few weeks.

Love the car though. It is a demo, so I asked them about the bleeding seats. They immediately acknowledged the issue and told me that they had already recovered the seats. As for wind noise, there is a little, but totally acceptable to me. No worse than the C250 I think.

I did notice a couple of small scratches on the black front near where it meets the hood. They agreed to take it to a shop and repair to as new condition. No squabbles. They offered that today and would give me a loaner, but I wanted to play with my new toy for a while first !

Anyway great experience so far.

Btw I must be doing something wrong here as I can only seem to attach one picture file. Maybe I should read theforum instructions some more!

Cheers
