2016 C450 AMG
Finally got my car last Thursday! It's been great so far, delivery was smooth and I'm enjoying the many new features I didn't have on my BMW.
The car is surprisingly firm (even in Comfort) so I have my Individual settings set to Sport+ for powertrain, Sport for steering and Comfort for suspension, and transmission I always put in Manual. I'll give some more impressions later.

Yes, but you can't see neither the front apron nor the rear diffuser that the night package adds in this pic.
Here's a couple of pictures of a white C450 without the night package, the one with it can seen in this listing: http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...10831403&Log=0

I was also torn on adding the Night package plus, however, at the time the option was released my vehicle was already produced and in the processing center in Baltimore. I do have to say though, that I am glad i DID NOT get the night package on my white 450. I like having a diffuser that stands out and the chrome exhaust tips. Little things that sets it apart from non-S C-classes thats on the road. the Night package I feel mutes the sporty accents I would like to display on the car.
Here are some more recent pics I snapped of my car:

The C450 looks unrecognizable without the Lighting Package. The package is definitely a must IMO. (also, I love how it adjusts itself upon startup)

With that said, I still without a doubt, would get the Night Package on a black 450.

2016 C450 (on order)
Does anyone have an image of what the standard light package with "LED daytime running lights" looks like during the day? The C450 I may purchase tomorrow does not have the upgraded light package and I'd like to see how this looks. Probably not that big of a deal but it's the only other feature I'd really like to have. Pics please???

Again, which dealer are you going thru?

Does the 450 that you are looking at have Premium 2 (Burmester Premium Surround Sound System, LED headlamps and fiber-optic LED taillamps)?

"LED daytime running lights" are associated with all three types of lights (Halogen (standard), LED (Premium 2 Package), Dynamic LED (319 - Lighting Package).

Thanks for the quick reply. No it does not have the Premium 2 Package. I've confirmed with the dealer that it does indeed have the base-level lighting package. Coming from a B8 S4 I love the look of LED daytime running lights. From my research it looks like the base level package does not have similar type lights, just an always on "xenon looking" LED daytime running lamp. Even the MBUSA website shows this in the image for the standard lights. Thoughts?

Yeah, going with the standard halogens will be a tough call. If you think that you will feel the slightest bit like you are missing something, I would hold off and get the car that you really want. If you will feel better in the long run saving some $$ and getting it as early as tomorrow, then I say press on

Hi everyone, new to the forums but not to this thread. I've been following this thread for a while. I've done some research on this car for a while and have been waiting to see it at a dealership but to my disappointment nothing in my area (Houston of all places) is carrying more than 1 or 2 at a time. I'm not sure how you guys are optioning out your cars (with the numbers) but I've optioned out a C450 on the MB website. I would like some feedback on this build.
I've found that the MB website doesn't take care of the redundancies and they leave redundant options on there (example: selecting the carbon fiber spoiler + spoiler AND mirrors will double charge). Please look over this build and let me know what y'all think (any additions or subtractions). I did not notice anything about the steering wheel on the website.
-Exterior
Polar white or Obsidian (haven't decided yet)
AMG 19" 5 spoke black wheels
Lighting package
Night package (not sure on this one yet, need feedback)
Panorama Roof
Carbon fiber spoiler and mirrors
-Interior
Designo Platinum nappa Leather
Performance Seats
Carbon Fiber Trim
Premium 2 package (not sure of the redundancy on this one)
Multimedia Package
HUD
Parking Assist
Driver Assist
-Extra
Trunk Tray
Wheel Locks
This all priced out at 72,890 on the MB website, which is crazy high compared to some of the builds I've seen in this forum.
Few questions on this:
Where is the steering wheel option?
Is this price negotiable (I've never built a car with options, usually just buy at dealership?)
Any feedback would be appreciated! Looking forward to hopefully making an order during November

Oh the cranberry red goes very well with the white exterior. The quality is also very good however it does seem to be getting dirty already with just 200miles driven. I just ordered some Wolfgang leather cleaner and conditioner to preserve the leather.
