odd options on c55
No logic7 sound
Sirrius Sat an option?
No folding back seats?
No big deal just figured the sat radio would be standard and at least the logic7 as an option.
Btw, Anyone know if there's a spare?
thnx

re-read the options list and
logic7 is standard, my bad.
it's says 60/40 fold down rear seats are avail options on every other model except for c55 where it indicates "not available". No idea why.

2005 C230K Black/Charcoal
collapsible tire
In the manual of my 2005 C230 it talks about the C55 AMG also. Under the practical hints section under the section marked "Removing the vehicle tool kit (C 55 AMG only)" there is a picture of a collapsible tire. It talks about it on page 330 and 334 of the Operator's Manual for the 2005 C Class Sedan.

I seriously doubt it has to do with a more rigid body structure, I think it has more to do with reducing ordering options.

Also, the installation kit might not be available yet, as the 2005 models have updated sound systems.

Re: odd options on c55
Sirrius Sat an option?
Can be added by dealer later. (Same as E-class or S-class)
No folding back seats?
Is standard on C55, not a option.
No big deal just figured the sat radio would be standard and at least the logic7 as an option.
Logic 7 is standard on C55 again.
Btw, Anyone know if there's a spare?
Has spare.
So with all this options available for as standard on C55...are you buying? or..............

....are you buying? or..............
It's really hard not to buy one. And yet of course I'm still a little torn.
It's just the looks really. MB a little too conservative for me. On inside great on outside it doesn't quite fit me. Still nothing is dead on. Porsche (I think too small for dog) and 645 (a little too "slow" for the money) come closest to what I like. then s4, m3, and c55.
s4 best all around deal I think but been there. M3 a little to ricer c55 a little too...executive.
Don't get me wrong it's a very good looking car it's just personal opinion.
Will decide this week.
PS I'm still pretty sure no fold downs but not a deal breaker.

kind of long...and cheesy.
Right. I can see how audi and mb are both on the conserv side of the spectrum. I just happen to like the audi more b/c I think it's more modern/minimalistic as compared to mb which I think is more classic.
m3; No not rice. May be more it's rep that's hard to get away from. If I just saw one and didn't know that cops and fast & furious crowd loved it I wouldn't think it was "rice". Just aggressive.
As nice as any of these cars are none "moves" me the way something like a 911, amv8, xkr and even 645 (sort of) does.
I guess it's kind of hard spending 60+ on a car and not visually loving it. (even harder to spend 80+ on any car period).
