At least in the case of the 604's, more of the wheel is black than silver. And given you can choose between two finishes it makes sense to me. The 605's also look much more black in person than in that pic.

Just wanted to say thank you all for posting in this thread. I have been following the c450 for quite awhile and always really wanted one. I look forward to all the pictures and reviews from everyone and maybe in a year or two I will be able to pick one up. 
Looking forward to the coming weeks!

Has anyone in the US received shipment of their C450 yet.... I am anxiously waiting for mine... it has been built since Aug. 28th. I have not been able to get any more information as to when to expect my car only thing coming out of my dealer is that it is awaiting shipment.

Before you get the "it's at the dealer, waiting to be picked up" call, MB should automatically move it into your dealer's inventory. So far, there is one spotted at a dealer:

And it doesn't appear to have arrived at that dealer yet.
(Interesting side note, look at the $599 Dealer & Handling Fee...nice
).

I'm anxiously waiting for a mid October C450 delivery and cannot wait to hopefully see some pictures from those lucky folks picking up in Sept!

I guess you're right... odd since Canadians could get the cooled seats as an option on the C400 (although heated seats are standard in Canada regardless of seat type)... Even without ventilation, perforated leather has a nice, sporty look to it. Perforated seats existed long before ventilated seats
The Canadian DOG shows perforations on the seats of one of the C450 pages:
...with better zoom:
Since the designo leather is nixed from the Canadian builds, who knows which leather (perforated or not perforated) will be used

2015 c450's don't have ventilated seats. Because of some apparent performance adjustments made to the US models, it's not available at all. I quadruple checked with my dealer. The packaging on the configurator is wrong. Leather package is called Comfort package on the build sheet and only has heated seats.

I just spoke with my dealer a few minutes ago and he confirmed that my leather interior will be heated but not ventilated. But I did not get the premium 2 package, so models with that option may indeed be equipped with heated as well as ventilated seats.

I don't see the Night Package on the MBUSA online configurator. Is it a bug? Also, several people mention Night Package Plus. Is there a difference between it and the regular Night Package ?

DeeSass provided the best answer:
As for the "complimentary" night package, I believe MB is referring to the blacked-out mirrors and window frames that come standard on the C450. On my build sheet, the night package is listed as "Night Package Plus" which adds the black rear diffuser, front apron, black tailpipes, and supposedly darker tint on the 3 rear windows.

Does anyone know if the premium 2 package with standard black leather includes ventilated seats? A real disappointment if they scratched ventilated seats from builds that were supposed to include them.

We had a pretty good discussion about the Night Package (which is standard on the C450) vs. the Night Package Plus ($200) ten days ago... here.
Still, it is not listed on the MBUSA online configurator.

Whenever I order mine, I will be for sure. Won't be much help for you though as I won't be ordering mine for a little while.

The Infamous C450
Hi guys, meeting with the dealership this Friday to initiate the order process...well more like window shop to see the various exterior & interior colors and options as well as drool over some C63s they have on the lot.
Anyway, I plan on ordering the 450 when I know exactly what color(s), options, etc. I want. For the people that have placed an order can you share your experience as far as how much did you have to pay to place an order, and how simple was the ordering process.
With all the inaccuracies on the build feature of the website I don't know what to take away from any of my 4 designs.

Yes it's the same. The online configurator has numerous errors in pricing and options. You can't rely on it. It looks like they loaded some very early information (like from July) but the order guides have had significant changes since then.

The ordering process itself is extremely easy. They can adjust an allocated vehicle to your spec live, and give you a printout of your config with the options and MSRP when you're done. After that you can generally make changes up to about 2 weeks before your car is scheduled to be built.

You can even move between individual configurations using the Load Online Code button:
Remember to record your Online Code after each design change.
Also notice how each screen on the German site is in English in my example... I use Chrome and right click on the page and select Translate to English.

Also the line item on my build sheet changed from "Night Package Plus" to "Night Package". Given that there is no way to configure the night package on the website, and the name dropped the PLUS designation on my build sheet, and the picture on the configurator shows body colored mirrors, I have no idea anymore what Night Package actually means.
I really wanted the black mirrors on my Polar White configuration. If they aren't being built this way for the US, I would strongly consider adding the carbon fiber package. I wish we could get a clear answer on whether or not there are errors in the configurator or this is indeed the way the car is being built for the states.
