Strange, I ordered a car at the end of April that has the 2016 specs. I know this because of the inclusion of Live Traffic Information, code B54 with the Garmin Nav. My car will be delivered at the end of September. So I really wonder if you still can order a 2015.

It doesn't seem like you know it . Brilliant marketing though. They get their maintenance money up front, their customers return to the dealer for service rather than go to an indy shop, and some people think they get it for free.

Completely agree with you, that it is like a bonus. And BMW's free maintenance covers almost everything, like wipers, brakes, etc. Mercedes paid maintenance does not. Some people don't seem to realize that.

I have the current dealer build sheet if anyone needs it, PM me.
Orders placed now are for MY 2016
As mentioned, prem package now in two parts...just figured that out when I found the MBUSA build site didn't match.
Coupe will be more $$ and delayed into next year. Supposed to release at Frankfurt show.
We are also getting ready to order a C300. Lease on our coupe is up in Nov - can turn it in now or when the new car gets here. Damn, had to buy new tires - $800 worth of p-zero AS's. Faaaackkkk....
BTW, my dealer requires nothing to order a car - you don't like/want it they sell it to someone else.

I think it varies dealership to dealership. I was presented both 15 and 16 model years, with a higher discount for 15, though I opted for a 16. In my case, I was asked to pay a 1k deposit, and my credit card already shows as charged 
Has anyone ordered a 'heated steering' without 'interior package'?

I got rid of my Silver/Black 2015 C300 4M and have a 2016 on order. I'm leasing the car so screw resale value and went with what I really wanted to begin with -
Ext - Lunar Blue Metallic
Int - Cranberry Red Leather
P02 Premium Pkg
Rear Deck Spoiler
Rearview Camera
Blind Spot Assist
Airmatic Suspension
Sport Pkg
Hands-Free Access
Panorama Roof
LED Lighting pkg
Black Ash wood
The car should be here in September, I'm excited to see how it turned out.

Time allowed to change a custom build order?
Hello All,
I recently placed an order for a C300 with a heated steering wheel. Weeks later I discover that I will lose the flat-bottom type and it will be replaced by a big ugly 3-spoke wheel. I was misinformed by the dealer while placing my order and am trying to remove the heated steering wheel option from my build.
Does anyone know how long I have to change my order? My car isn't scheduled for production until late October. Any help or information is greatly appreciated.

I wonder if AMG Sport owners will be able to enroll in the AMG Private Lounge
I hope someone who gets a 2016 C450 AMG will try to enroll in the AMG Private Lounge and see if these cars are eligible.

It would be cool if they were....but may anger AMG owners
