How about first week in October?
Leg1 (moderate)
Start at Mountain House and 580 (start of patterson pass). The shell has 100 octane for those like me who have BMS / Chiptuning or other engine management mods. We can driver to Livermore.
Leg2 (advanced)
For a longer and more curvy extension we could take 84 to 237 (Calaveras) down to Milpitas.

I will post the details on my G+, so far 4 confirmed (me included). Will have a better feel towards the end of the month on how may people will go. It's a fun drive, get to exercise the car a bit.

Saturday October 3rd is the tentative date @ 10 am in Mountain House Pkwy and 580 - Patterson Pass, really great views and awesome drive. I have a lot of experience on these roads, no worries. Just bring the essentials and come have fun.

I'm in San Jose - still waiting for my '16 C450 to arrive in about a week! I got the adaptive LED headlights and wanted to enable the matrix function like the EU cars, can you guys recommend a shop that can do coding?

what matrix function?. AFAIK there is not engineering mode accessible in w205, I don't know of any shop, but interested in what this does. I have the adaptive LED's as well.

This is what I was looking for - the extended functionality I want "unlocked". The hardware and software should all be present as the auto high beams we get need the same gear, it is probably just a factory coding that's set based on the market. That is very commonly done on world market vehicles to reduce build complexity as much as possible.
I don't have experience with Mercedes, but on BMWs an indy shop can enter the service menus and activate/deactivate market-specific features on the car. For example, BMW does not allow remote window roll-up (only down) in North America but they do in Europe so it can be selected back on.
