Slavko, for what it's worth I'm a fan of the night package as well. My build is Polar White and I wanted to make sure from day one that it included the full night package with black lip, diffuser and exhaust tips. I like the contrast of pure black and white all the way around including the panoramic roof. I was incredibly close to shelling out an extra $700 for the carbon fiber spoiler but eventually decided against it. I've seen some pics of a Polar White build with the night package and love the look. In fact, I would argue that the night package is as critical to a white build as it is to black. I'll be installing 35% tint on my windows first thing upon delivery to complete the look.
By the way I just found out that my build has gone into production and is scheduled for delivery on November 20th. Can't wait!
Oh yea, the window tint goes in first thing! )) I really like the carbon fiber spoiler and mirrors too, but that's one of the very few options that can be installed later (and seems, would cost a lot less), so I'm not getting it from MB.
Congrats on your build's progress!

Thank you so much. i kept reading 8 and 8.5 online. Wanted to make sure. It's just odd they made the rear stock tire 245 in the rear when it could have been 255 on the 18s.
I went with the 12v air compressor (SLIME SLM 40026 2X TIRE INFLATOR), I still need to get sealant. The compressor (in it's case) fits nicely in the trunk under that cargo area box thing (once you remove the front bumper license plate holder).
The tread wear warranty is 50,000 miles, but I haven't seen anyone that claims they got that kind of mileage. More like 25K to 45K. I tend to drive fast cars fast, so I am not expecting to get wear numbers that approach 50K.
I will definitley be going with the Continental DWS all seaons when my runflats wear out.As you stated earlier,the oem tires are a lower performance tire than the DWS which are ultra high performance all seasons.I will live with the runflats untill they wear out.
I also have a compressor in the storage compartment already with some other goodies I took from a Michelin kit which was supplied to me at no charge when I bought 4 new Michelins a few years back.It is a very high quality kit with good jumper cables,light,reflectors for the road a bunch of high quality tire changing tools,etc.It is the best kit of this type I ever saw.
It looks like you all have a pretty great thread going here on the new 450's. I currently drive a 13 C350 that is coming off lease at the end of the year. I drove a 450 last week and was blown away so decided to go that direction for the next car. Here is my build from memory:
Polar White
Black Leather w/ Red Stitching
Gloss Black & Aluminum
Options:
Lighting Package
Panorama Roof
Night Package
AMG Performance Seats
AMG Performance Steering Wheel
Premium 2
Multimedia Package
Rearview Camera
Rear-side airbags
18" AMG Wheels (the standard wheels)
MSRP: $63,565
I don't think I left anything off there. I have a 1st decade December build date. I am not totally set on the exterior color, but need to decide soon. I've been debating 040 Black or maybe Steel Grey or something.
Dark or light (Iridium) grey are very nice colors for C450.
My preference would be blue but didn't see anyone like this so far and I understood you don"t have the Blue in the US.
Anyone have any idea what the flow rate is on these stock turbos? These snails look really small and I am guessing Mercedes Engine internals and tranny are stout, meaning perhaps a future stock sized (larger housing) turbo strapped on could turn this thing into an animal...
The reason I ask, is if you look at a dyno graph of the powerplant (via OE Tuning GL450 biturbo tune) you'll notice the tune does make loads of power but the powerband falls on its face the last 1000 rpms which to me probably signifies small turbos running out of breath..
Anyways any insight would be appreciated

I said I was gonna take more pictures, so here's some more from my potato of a phone before I steal my friend's DSLR. Also just conditioned the leather today and will be washing the car tomorrow!
Two questions:
1- I can't for the life of me figure out how to activate Sirius weather. I followed the instructions in the manual and clicked around in the command and can't find it anywhere. Does this need to be turned on or activated? All of the Sirius channels work fine and everything.
2- Is the keyless go button supposed to protrude out like this? Usually the pushbuttons are fairly flush to the dash. Take a look at the picture and let me know. I try pushing it and harder but it just sits in that position.
The keyless go button looks normal and does stick out a bit like that.
I know you have SiriusXM radio. Do you have the Multi-Media package on your car, the one with the full Comand system, including the built in navigation (not Map Pilot)? If you don't, you won't have Sirius Weather as that's included in the Multi-Media Package:
Multimedia Package
$2,230
COMAND hard-drive navigation with 8.4-inch screen
No-charge navigation map updates for 3 years
Voice control
SiriusXM Traffic and Weather with 5 years of service

Yes I have all of that and I think it's supposed to be there in the menu when I click on the globe, per the manual. I'll have to call Sirius to see if maybe subscription has an activated it. Thanks for the answers
1.) Weather Info
a.) Remove cell phone from pocket
b.) Press Weather Channel App
c.) Assess weather conditions
2.) Pushbutton Start = Excessive Protrusion, I recommend super glue to hold it in. The last thing you want is your ignition popping out onto the floor when you're driving down the freeway at 110mph (I assume you're speeding since you clearly have little regard for the law given you're using your cell phone while driving...see response #1)

Your dealer should have activated weather and traffic when you took delivery of your car. I'd contact your dealer.

That's because the push start is removable. For those who like using a key to start the car, you can just take off the start cap and insert your key. Quite frankly I like it better like this

Has anyone else's car been delayed. I was supposed to pick my car up tomorrow but I got this email from the dealership after asking for an update on my car.
Unfortunately I don't at this point. I have escalated your C450 to our regional rep and I'm awaiting a response on why the car is not here and has not moved from its production status. This is not a common occurrence, but it can happen when there are supplier issues or production constraints
I've traced the trolls IP address its actually coming from this dude. He's using 2 accounts and trying to play the straight man with his regular account while stirring up the masses with his troll account. Admin, can you please block both of these accounts? This is for serious AMG enthusiasts only
Lol Christ how miserable and worthless is your life when you have enough free time to create multiple accounts to troll with?
I just called my dealer and added option P89 Factory 4 door delete. I kind of like the look, almost like a luxury golf cart. I live in a very arid area of the US of A too.
