What little niceties have you discovered?
Stealing the heading of this post from the E car section. It was interesting to read about all the features that some owners find and others may have missed.
I like the fact that the seatbelt hugs you after you put it on, ever so softly. My wife has not noticed it on her driver's side, so maybe it needs to be set. We have an appointment at the dealer's to go over the car as we bought it and rushed out.
Any other nice things about the c300 we may have missed? We have a 2017.

softly? More like being squeezed by a python. I turned it off.

Congrats on the new car! For the seatbelt the dealer probably has it turned off, just click the vechicle button in the center console and select vechicle settings with the scroll mouse and you can play around with the settings.
In addition, if you got the lighting package inside you can also select multiple colors to light up the car (Only 3 in the c class though)

I like how, if you need to fold down the rear seats for more trunk room, and the the front seats are back to the point where the headrests of the rear seats won't clear them, the front seats will move forward automatically as soon as you pull the rear seat release latch. Nice little detail.

however it doesn’t put the seats back when you get in or put the rear seats back up so you get in and go WTF and hope you saved the seat memory for the last position.

Yes, that's what seat memory is for. (No sarcasm intended) I'm the only one who drives my Benz, so I have one memory position for upright, around town use, for maximum alertness, a second that is somewhat more relaxed, and a third for stretched-out, Interstate druising. The passenger side has one for my wife, who is short and a second position is for longer-legged people whom I occasionally carry.

Yeah, it would be better if the front seats slid back to their positions immediately after the rear seatbacks were fully lowered. it would just take another latch at that point. when that latch is undone, the front seats would slide forward again so the rear seatbacks could be put up again. maybe that will show up on the 2019 model.... but until then, i guess we do it ourselves with the memory buttons, like @gfmohn says.

If I go over any subtle bumps on the road, the car gives a little clatter noise to let me know there's loose pieces somewhere in the vehicle. It also emits this noise at a frequency that the service department can't hear, very cool!
