Same brake size. Perforated vs non perforated is the difference.

Do you have info on MF currently for the c300? Also, how many MSD's can be used, and what will be the final MF after all MSD's applied? What is the One Pay MF?

Thanks,

Hey MBSeller - are you able to find out/order the part for the front grille on this bad boy?

Ok, I'll play.

What moving components were removed?

Does the 205 not have a compressor, valve block, struts, and ride height sensors?

Please explain.

thanks.

I think this question got lost in the shuffle.


What is the volume of the trunk? Most web sites, including MBUSA, list cargo/trunk capacity as 17 cubic feet. The new C Class brochure say the cargo capacity is 12.6 cubic feet. I think the old C Class (W204) was 12.4 cubic feet. Is this an error in the brochure? Here is a link to the brochure.

Can you explain the details of the built in internet connection. Is it 3G or 4G LTE? My limited understanding (which is probably wrong) is that it's a combination of 3G and 4G which is routed through Mercedes servers and the sent to the car. The result is that the speed is very slow. The in car wifi hot spot only gets a maximum of 100-200 Kbs/sec speeds. Often it is much slower. It's really not usable for anything more than email.

Are there any plans for speed increases?

Somewhere along the way, the measurement for trunk space must have changed because there is no way the C class has 17 cubic ft. The BMW 3 series also states roughly that amount. Current S class has 16 cu ft. I think 12.6 sounds much more reasonable.

yeah, as expected, compressor pump (10) and valveblock (120) with lines running to each strut.

sounds a bit like standard salesperson fluff.

Maybe the larger volume is with the seats folded down?

It doesn't look that much different than the W204 to me, but the specifications on the MBUSA site clearly say 17 cu ft and the latest brochure says 12.6 cu ft. MBSELLER should be able to get a definitive answer. Almost all the reviews online say 17 cu ft.

LED vs ILS welcome lights

I went to a dealer today and they only had c400 with lighting package. All the c300 had LED headlamps from the premium package but no lighting package. When they unlocked the c400, there was a welcome light where the DRL lights up, but not blue as we've seen on YouTube. However, when they unlocked the c300, the DRLs did not light up until we turned on the car...

You said dealers won't change this, but will the car allow us to change the color to blue that in comand settings?
Also, will the c300 without the lighting package (intelligent lighting system), do the same welcome lights?

Thanks

The command system doesn't give you the option to choose to go from blue to white or stay white(atleast i didn't see one at the dealer & I wish it did). Although i wonder if anyone has tried to play around with the programming. I'm guessing the colour change is due the voltage of the lights going from low to high slowly, as opposed to a jump. So maybe a programming change could fix this...? Not that i think anyone will attempt this

Also, the case with the C300 was probably that the welcome lights weren't switched on. There is an option in the car for this I believe. The ILS plays no part in this.
