Hello all, I see talk of tunes but have not found one myself, would love to do one as well as exhaust and the car could use to be a bit lower. Any advice appreciated.
I got mine loaded with the exception of.
Multimedia - personally do not see the need and agree with others on smaller screen
Perfume... Nuf said
Pano roof - I never open them, save that weight, add some rigidity
Hud - Did not see the value for what I use the car for
Black/Cranberry. 19" multi spoke
I like the carbon bits, worth it in my opinion. Steering wheel is deluxe
I bought this as a commuter car, drive it about 26 miles a day, occasionally on the weekend.
Fun dive and enjoy it, is a great car. Front wheel/fender lip spacing is close, rear needs 10 mil or so.
Hoping for a solid tune that delivers good power and in a perfect world driving mode default, exhast for a bit more visceral sound (i have not experienced drone). 20-25 mil lower.

I ordered my C450 back in June and it is finally at the dealership. I take ownership tomorrow and my dealer was kind enough to send me some pictures ahead of time. Can't wait to drive this bad *** machine.

question: was anyone able to get non runflats on delivery? my dealer said I could only get runflats. I really don't like the ride of runflats, and I have an air pump that runs off the lighter.

My car is iridium silver. I don't like a lot of chrome on it. I even went with night package plus for $200.

If you want non-RFT, you'll have to buy aftermarket tires after you take delivery of your car.

Probably trade laws/regulations... It looks like they can get pretty much any option a'la cart (most things that we can't even get in a package - like a regular sunroof for example). I am pretty sure that you can get summer wheels/tires and winter wheels/tires at the same time, with your new vehicle.

Interesting. I'm not a fan of RFT's, but I'm also not going to change them out and have to carry a spare tire in a trunk where there's no place to store one. So, I'm just hoping I don't find the RFT's frustrating when I get my car. Looks like my Sport came with Pirelli's. I've read some good and not so good users reviews about them. I'm not a speed guy, so I'm thinking they'll do just fine for my needs.

I really do share your frustration. I ordered the leather interior fully expecting that the seats would be both perforated and ventilated. Add to that the uncertainty of the website indicating that the surround sound system was standard as it was on the 400, I was teetering on the edge of giving up the 450 and waiting until the Jag XE came out next year and giving that a try. But after the test drive, I decided to stay with the Merc., concluding, I suppose, that no car is ever going to be perfect.

Can anyone tell me which size winter tires the MY16 C450 takes? I am having a bit of trouble tracking this down.
Does anyone have any recommendations for tires through Costco or anywhere else that offers competitive prices?

Does anyone have any official mileage ratings on this car? seems odd that on the mbusa site there still wouldn't be EPA ratings

I saw that as well last week. Edmunds and fueleconomy.gov both have it listed as 21/29 (24 combined) which appears to be the same as the C400 4matic.

Supply issues is a tough roadblock to hit, as a business you have two options: don't sell any C450's because you can't include the seats you don't have, or sell C450's but don't offer the seats. Pretty sure every business in existence would chose the former rather than the later.

Truthfully, I wouldnt spend th money on the carbon fiber trim. Its too expensive for what its worth IMHO, use that towards the multimedia package.
I for one was able to option my 450 and only pay 54k for i on a 4yr finance.
Luckily for me, being that my vehicle was the very first batch, the premium 2 package did come standard minus thr Burmester sound system, I think I saved on that. I just added interior cranberry red leather pkg, pano roof, linden wood trim, and lighhting package (pano and lighting are a def must IMO). Oh I was also given a 5% off MSRP on my order. I do semi-regret not getting the multimedia package, the wife wanted to skimp on that feature I for one would get it but i figure rebuttal process was not was not worth it.

Also considering the silver fiber trim bc I think it would look solid with the cranberry red seats. I doubt that light silver would show prints too bad - sure Viper can confirm.

Oh really? That's annoying, getting conflicting reports on this as other said it has a matte finish to and doesn't print up. Guess I'll have to go mess with a car at the dealership before I decide.
