I ordered my C300 Sport end of March, and the sales lady told me I wouldn't receive it until early June.



As for HUD, my wife has it on her 2014 BMW 328i xDrive, but I could care less about it. I put that $1000 towards 19" wheels and Blind Spot assist instead.

My dealership is in Germantown, MD. I bet it will be reaching you soon.

I just received a pic of it on the trailer from my salesman.




Palladium Silver on top. Bad lighting...but at least it's a pic. Should be ready around 4:30 today for pickup.

Gorgeous. Did you get the spoiler?

Palladium is beautiful. I've just had 3 grey cars and needed a change. I went with diamond silver and saw one today. I nearly wet my pants.

I ordered in early December in Ft. Lauderdale. The hold up was the Ash Wood and the HUD. I'm kind of glad it took so long because of hopefully better build quality.

You got that right!

I'm torn between a take off set of staggered 18" stock Benz AMG wheels with the stock A/S Continentals...or just buy a set of cheap Winter wheels and snow tires from TireRack.

Money is not the issue, it's do I want the run flats or not.

Ok. I did the Coral Springs in January. But the build was pushed to end of March.

Thumbs up AHHHHHHHH!

CONGRATS! Very very excited for you!

Selfishly I'm also very excited because that means I should be picking mine up soon as well!

Here's my build...our cars are quite similar! Palladium is by far my favorite color. This is my third palladium silver car

Grant, Nice build! I am also coming from a Palladium car and was going to order Iridium but after looking at both colors side by side in the showroom, I had to order another Palladium car. The W205 looks that good in Palladium
Here's my build for a June delivery.

Palladium was my first color choice too looking at it under artificial light on the showroom floor and in the brouchure...

...but then I saw Palladium in the direct sun, WAY too much gold in it for me. I hate the color gold, reminds me of the elderly. Even my wedding ring is Platinium instead of yellow gold.

So I then decided on Iridium instead, which looks good in the sunlight BTW with all that flake...unlike BMW's silver which looks plain in comparison

No - didn't go with the spoiler. Which is odd as I normally do from previous cars.

Yeah...Palladium seems to be getting some love lately. Here are some quick snaps from when I picked it up yesterday. Poor car is getting rained on today at work.








I'll do better pics on a nice day with my good camera.

CONGRATS! Looks fantastic! And the 486 suspension looks sharp as well. I've seen a handful of the 485's and they look like SUVs.

Dealer called me last night to inform me mine arrived yesterday as well. I'll be picking it up Monday or Tuesday next week. PUMPED. Photos to follow as well...

Man - I like being able to look out my office window and see this (though the iPhone5 zoom really sucks).

Rub. It. In. 👍😄

I stopped by the dealer on Saturday and Sunday just to look at mine sitting in the lot. If all goes as planned today will be the day.

I don't see why they should not have it ready for you already. They got mine off the truck on Thursday at 12:30 and it was ready at 4:30. Either way...you have to be completely stoked. I was sitting in my car for a half hour yesterday just playing with the settings.

No word yet from the dealer. The SA Said he would let me know when it was shipped but he's a bit of a flake so I'd probably have to ask him. I thought id give it to the end of the week.

I'm also in South Florida. I originally went to MB of Delray and didn't like their inventory. I then went to MB of Coconut Creek and the salesman was a tool. Guy never returned my calls or emails. Just about when I was getting ready to place an order I tried MB of Coral Gables. They had the exact package I was looking for on the lot.
