After a year of eyeing this car I finally joined the club. I've always been a BMW guy came from a 325i, 335i, and X5, in my younger years.
Picked up this C400 in CAVANSITE BLUE METALLIC on black leather. 21k miles on her, a few months left of factory warranty.
Can say I'm pretty happy so far, got all the options and features I wanted. Its just to bad the w205 community is not as prevalent as the BMW forums.

I'm trying to extend my warranty on the vehicle with Mercedes-Benz. Is it true that they can't extend it unless you're the original owner/bought it from an authorized dealer?
They said they won't do it for me.
Congrats! I purchased the same car in the same color a year ago. I can tell you it looks even better after chrome delete, window tints and Diamond grill. Mine has had a number of issues fixed at the dealer but they are so great to deal with (Lynnwood Mercedes in WA) that it has been no problem. Make sure you get anything that needs a fix done before the warranty expires. I love the wheels because they look great and are exactly the same color as the brake dust so they never look dirty!
