You can say to the sales person, "Let's sign on the dotted line - If I am wrong, I am committed to paying MSRP on this car. If you are wrong, you have to sell the car to me at 25% discount. You get to sell a car either way. Deal?"

I believe acoustic glass is included with the HUD option. It's Code 851 and is no cost when HUD is selected. Not sure how much or how to get it as a stand alone.
I also sound-proofed all 4 doors interior panels while doing the audio upgrade. That plus ditching the run flats made the car very quiet, and that's coming from a 221.

With regards to the acoustic windows, I've seen a handful of 2016s at the dealership both on the show room and in the service loaner dept. and they all had acoustic windows which is checked by looking for the "XI" on the glass. I thought it was standard now
Weird that it's some kind of luck of the draw sh|t.

I can't find that screen I think it's C450 only.
Mike you are a trooper, I know that sound proofing has made a big difference in how much quieter the car is. I feel like doors on the W205 are hollow which I guess is due to increased aluminum.

15 don't have it unfortunately. I wish that when companies come out with new models, can they either wait more than a year to upgrade things? or just roll out the upgrades from the beginning.. its ridiculous. Another thing that the 16's have is the auto parking brake, mine does not have that. I mean come on
