Seems like the AMG badge will be standard in some countries

I have close to 2000 miles on my C450 and I have been shocked at how the performance of the car is improving. Hard to explain in words, but in the first month the engine was very tight, the transmission a little jerky at times, and the brakes were a bit grabby. But as the weeks go by the engine is noticeably smoother, and pulls much harder, with clean shifts from the trans. The brakes too have a better feel just in day to day driving. Part of this might be just me getting used to the car, but I know without a doubt the car is faster now than it was brand new. Hopefully it gets even better in the coming months!

Wait until you hit about 10K miles. In every Benz I've ever owned, they just open up at about that point and just get better and better!

C450
Just passed 1400 mi. on mine and have noticed the same thing. Brakes were especially grabby and noisy. The problem fixed itself, now completely smooth and quiet. Can't tell so much about the speed as I pretty much followed the break in recs.

A question to all music geeks : can we have album pictures of MP3 music or could this only be visible when we copy music from iTunes ?
If we add a jpg in each music directory with MP3 does the system show the album pic?

Yes, while connected, toggle over thru the media options and select Bluetooth. Then you are good to go. Change on the phone or on the dial.

ordered c450 on Dec 15, 2015
texted the saleman 2 days ago to get an update on my order.
he said he's off on that day, said he gives me update when he goes back to work next day.
it's already 2 days, he still haven't text me. WTF. is he trying to ignore me or there's nothing new on my order?
I going to text him again next week to see what happen.

Hey guys, just picked up my C450 this Monday and have been loving it. My only concern is with the reverse gear. When I put the car in reverse and let go of the brake pedal, the car does not move. It isn't until I push the gas pedal that the car starts to reverse. Is this normal with every other C450 or is it just with my car? Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Completely normal and was designed that way. The parking brake is automatically engaged when you put your car in park and turn your car off. The parking brake stays engaged until you put your foot on the accelerator the next time you start your car.

As I mentioned earlier, my order was 2 weeks earlier. Confirmed with the sales person that the estimated build is 1/25 now.
