Dealer said that with the Leather interiors, the interior package is a mandatory order add-on, and it comes with heated/ventilated seats.
Double Check w/ the Dealers, as that didn't show up on the ordering guide but did show up when the dealers order the car, so just an FYI

For any other BMW potential fence jumpers I've started a thread on Bimmerfest that might be of some interest to you;

I too am a current BMW owner and completely sick of driving it. After owning several BMWs, I find that there is more to be had with a MB. My current lease ends in November and I'm counting the days till I can order a C450. This will be my first MB and I'm very excited.
Any Members from the NorthEast area (Philadelphia to be exact) and can recommend a decent and KNOWLEDGEABLE salesperson?

voip1, autopal, I am also in the same boat haha. My C63 lease ends on 8/18 and I have already ordered a C300 but really want the C450. Considering my C300 came in at $55K and with the C450 starting at under $51k, a few packages will push it to $60K but way worth the extra $5K.
I was told by the dealership I could continue my lease month-by-month if I contacted MBFS for a quote. Have any of you guys considered that? Or has anyone ever done this before and know how much more it will be?

So I got some additional nuggets today.
P2pkg - which only includes Burmeister stereo is $1520. Quite high for a stereo upgrade IMO, I might have to check out what the stock system sounds like.
Any of the leather interiors appear to require the purchase of 318 interior pkg. This includes 401 Heated and Ventilated front seats. 877 Ambient lighting, U25 MB Illuminated Door Sill Panels. This costs $2880. Also pretty pricey for what you get.
632 LED Headlights are definitely standard, it shows up now in any build config that is run on the configurator.
Black seatbelt can be configured with the base MB-Tex package and does not change the order price.
I was also told that C400 had a much lower residual than C300 and also a much higher money factor. If this continues with C450 it might be out of the running as it would cost me much more to lease than 340xi which should enjoy similar MF and residual to current 335xi which is quite good.

Wow...good to see a few things locked in so to speak now; p2 is cheaper than I anticipated, interior more, and no need for me to get the lighting!
Downside looks like that residual, as I've never leased and considered looking at it for this car - if they turn up pretty bad I might just have to look at something else in MB's lineup. I'm set on leaving BMW, but obviously this makes things interesting now....
Any word on the black 19" multispoke rims? I pulled my order when they told me MBUSA had a shortage company-wide and weren't available now

Looking at cars on the lot, white is a very attractive color on the C class but I'd probably opt for something a little more masculine like the platinum silver.

Does anyone know the August 2015 C400 residual rates? They will probably be close to, or the same as the C450 rates when it is released next month since it replaces that model.
