New C43

Hi,

After 4 years of BMW ownership, we've just ordered a new C43 Coupe, due for delivery in October. Looking forward to being back in the MB fold.

Thanks, already thinking about a few styling mods. Unfortunately we can't tint the front windows and windscreen in the UK above 30%

Very nice, we were torn between the Selenite Grey and the Diamond White, our current car is black so we're used to the maintenance required to keep black or white cars looking good

I believe the way MB configure their options is different in each market, we've gone for the Premium Plus model with the following factory options:

Hi, I was told by my local dealer that there was no prices yet for the C43. Did you order without knowing the price? Were you able to negotiate the deal?

MSRP is $55,500, the option pricing is still TBD.

I ordered blind, and yes I negotiated a deal. 10% off MSRP + my fleet discount.

The on the road retail price for the base model in the UK is £47,970 which equates to a dollar price of $69,094 at current rates. It could be worse though, if you live in Denmark the base list price in dollars is $153,738

And don't even mention the tax we get charged on fuel, where currently 70.44% of the pump price is tax.

So got a C43 on order as of last week..... anyone specced the performance exhaust? I am tempted but as going with the estate think it may be a bit boomy?

Anyone heard the performance vs standard on the C43?

It's standard on the UK spec. C43s. Not heard it directly, but there's a few YouTube videos that have been posted recently.

I think I meant the selectable AMG Performance exhaust which is a £1000 option in the UK

Can you post a link, I didn't see this as an option when we specified our C43 unless it came as part of one of the packs we selected?

In the US the Performance Exhaust is an add-on option in the Coupe. Is this different in the UK?

Are you from USA? Do you have skype/something where we can talk about your order? I also want to order C43 Coupe but my dealer says it's not possible yet.

The performance exhaust is standard in the UK, they offer a further option for saloon and estate of a selectable performance exhaust which has a button in the cabin to switch betwen modes.... been told it is louder than the standard performance exhaust. From what I can work out in the UK the coupe has a 2 mode performance exhaust.... go figure?????

Sports Exhaust is the standard (no button) exhaust, Performance exhaust is the optional exhaust (with a button like in the 63's, and improved sound). That's pretty cool it comes standard in the UK for the Coupes!

Once you leave BMW you will never go back. MB is so far superior in every way these days. Welcome to the AMG family, prepare for the addiction (I am on #6 already, ordering #7 & #8 very soon)

We had a 320 CLS with the Brabus tune a few years ago, which was a very nice drive, so we're looking forward to being back in an MB.

Hi, I'm based in the UK and I think the build configurations are different in each region, so I'm not sure if I'd be much help. Even here the dealers have only been given limited order slots, around 1 order per month for the few we spoke to.
