Illuminated Door sills?

Oi guys,

I'm getting ready to make the order, but the illuminated door sills are TBD....has anyone actually gotten a car, MY 12, that have these?
If so can you throw up a shot? It's odd how they're standard on some AMG's, but TBD on others....

peace

Overrated IMHO and I dont have them.... I checked the build site and they still are TBD in regards to price. Not sure why.

My dealer told me that they have been added as a standard option to the cls. Guess I will find out if that is true when I pick up my order this weekend after my 3 month wait.

Definitely the way I am feeling at this point. Ship was supposed to arrive at Baltimore VPC today but it did not. Hoping it comes tomorrow with enough time for my car to clear the port and be transported up to Philly for a Sat. pick up at the latest.

Will post pics and info as soon as I take delivery.

You will be the first member here with a CLS63 in that color.

wow, lunar blue??
can't wait to see some pix....what inside colors did you go with?
I've decided to PASS on the D-zeen-yo, as they have NO samples of colors or leather or anything! I spent ten minutes lecturing the guy on how MB should really try to do better with the sample suitcase, (like at a JAGUAR dealer)....but it was in one ear and..............

I was looking at colors for a half an hour trying to decide on one......probably go with 'ole trusty' again: Iridium.
Dealer told me if I had gotten the light blue color I was considering, that my trade in allowance would have been 10K LESS!!!

Its an ash/black interior with carbon fiber trim. We were trying to replicate the look of our lemans blue/silver interior M3 sedan, which my wife and I thought was a great looking combo and rarer than you would have thought given that Ms in the magazines always have that combo. In any event, the blue/ash cls color combo looks great on the mb website build page so I hope it looks as good in person. Dealer says this will be the first Lunar Blue cls63 imported to the US.

My boat is still out of range of marine tracker but was supposed to have docked in Baltimore yesterday at noon. Weekend delivery is not looking as possible right now.

On car carrier as of 1:00 pm today. Should have the car tomorrow or Sat. depending on how many stops the carrier needs to make and whether dealer can get the service dept. to unpack and inspect it quickly.

Still no car at the dealer...it is in the hands of the Teamsters car carrier driver right now. Hopefully tomorrow. Honestly, I could have driven a flatbed down to Baltimore VPC and been back to Philly 10 times by now. Dealer says there is no rhime or reason as to what order the cars are dropped of in ... and no ability to know schedule.

Any update on illuminated door sills? Available as option or are they standard now?
