I know I should have waited till next year as MB releases more options on the car but alas I couldn't.

So... I have placed my order and pre sold my coupe.

C250 polar white
Cranberry leather
Vision pack
Seat comfort pack
Amg line pack
Command pack
Tv tuner
Airbalance
Model deletion

It might turn out to be a good Xmas.

Congratulations! Christmas will be here before you know it. Is it RWD in Australia now for ordering? In states, we're waiting for 'first quarter '15", and no month given that I know of to order. They announced the C63 here delivers March.

Had you seen...err....smelled (?) a car with the airbalance? I hadn't put that on my list yet. Wondered if you had tested it out, the scent holds less appeal to me than if the extra filtration and ionization made any difference.

Congratulations! The W205 is a really well designed car, and deserves all the critical acclaim it's gotten so far.

I have mine about a week now, and it gets better each time I drive it. You'll love it ... it just does everything well.

Yes it's RWD. No 4matic announced yet (but I bet it will be a c350) I have seen the Airbalance but haven't smelled it. I intend on putting my own fragrance in anyways. I bought it for the filtration and ionization. Hopefully it works. Ima head down to the dealers today. It could be a January delivery, not confirmed just yet.

Coming out of a c204 coupe you do notice the difference in the new model. The interior is stunning. In white however, I had to get the amg line as the avantegarde (or any other line) reminded me of a wedding car. Particularly with the chrome strip down the side.

Congrats! You are going to love this car! Post some pics whenever you get it.

jkyriakou

Thanks Silver. I will definitely. Getting a little excited now even though I won't have it till January.

Congrats!

I optioned for exact same except in Obsidian Black, it's an awesome ride you will love it.

Luckily I managed to find the spec in a demo , which I took delivery last week instead of waiting after the new year.

Howdy, I'm in Brizzy .. ordered a 250 bluetec with Vision, Command, Seat Comfort, and exclusive pack three weeks ago. Initially I went for silver but changed my mind to Tenorite Grey - didn't like the harsh contrast between the black panoramic roof and the light paint work. I also opted for the open grain timber trim since I didn't fancy that ultra glossy finish with our harsh sun.

Delivery is apparently mid January. It'll be my first Daimler .. So the anticipation is definitely building! Let us know how the Oz versions are working out. I think MB Australia made some nice choices in how they are optioning this car for the down-under market.

I got a demo model with air balance, it's a nice touch but not something I'd opt for.

Didnt notice any difference with the air ionization. The air balance can be refilled with any perfume of your choice.

jkyriakou

It was like $300 extra so what the heck. Another box to tick.

BTW I have ionization on my home aircon and although you can't feel it, I think it helps "freshen" the air.

If it's really ionized air/ozone, isn't it bad for the lungs?

jkyriakou

Nope. Cause the free radicals are only short lived they would destroy bacteria however. At least that's the claim, not sure it actually does anything but it doesn't hurt!

Hi jkyriakou I ordered a white with red interior c250 last week with command amg and vision packages dealer told me build will be completed 11 december and delivery to me around Jan 30 or first few days of Feb will be interesting to se how close it is to that date

jkyriakou

Yes it will. My dealer told me they can still change Jan delivery cars to spec ( this was when I ordered 3 weeks ago)

Apparently MBoz schedules have been spot on.

Congrats on your new baby. Post some pics when u get it. Did you go polar white?

kanaka

yep polar white The bad news I traded my e 350 and they took it straight away as part of the deal so in the mean time I am driving a nissan cube till Jan
Of couse the c 250 will feel fantastic after 3 months in the cube Ha Ha

jkyriakou

Bugger. Should have told them you will keep it until the car comes or at least get a demo to drive. When I bought my c250 coupe, I sold my Audi prior to delivery, and MBsydney organised a loaner at no charge.
My rep I think did it under the table or something but nevertheless I had a demo merc prior to my car coming.
