Yes, as I said in the original post "with AMG performance exhaust". I have it optioned.
I don't know how the hell you couldn't select them, those two options should be independent to each other. I custom ordered it with all the options I wanted.

But anyway, people like 19" rims... I chose 18" because of the ride quality and winter tires I had were 18".

Long time lurker.. the dealer by me (Connecticut) just got some C43s in. Going in tomorrow for a test drive and hopefully build/order one!

Does anyone know if there any way to get the Magno matte finish in the US in the C43 coupe or sedan?

So a big question mark here, how did it happen on a new car?
Ugly reflection on MB quality.
Assume the dealer said it was an easy fix.

Picking mine up in 4 hours, would've gotten it yesterday but I had to drop the winter tires off and give them time to put them and some wheel locks on, then prep it...plus I was really busy yesterday.

Couple of poorly composed pics above.
Picked it up yesterday so some quick thoughts.
Initial impressions are all favorable.
Got some city, rush hour and expressway driving in on the way home. Did most of the drive in sport+ but used all four settings. The ride differences in E, C and S were not noticeable to us.
The seats are very comfortable.
The lane pilot and distance pilot worked as advertised.
Fun to drive. My wife initially thought she would drive in C, but after driving a while in S+ she said that is the setting for her.

Did you have the sides debagdged on purpose?

Just got the lease number from my dealer and it's off for about a $255.92 (not a lot, but I am unclear about some numbers) compared to Mike's Spreadsheet. Can any experts justify the numbers? Planning to sign the deal very soon! I am doing ONE PAYMENT LEASE
MF:0.00043, Residual 59%. 36mo./12k. Agreed Selling Price: $61766.50

Dealers total payment: $28870.62
Mike's SS: 27067.82+1546.88=$28614.7

Thanks in advance.







Mike5215's Spreadsheet, thanks Mike!

One thing stands out to me: I think you may have put the acquisition fee in the wrong place.

According to the lease sheet it's part of the gross capital cost, not part of "amount due at signing."

So, you should move the acquisition fee to the line item under MSRP, not "due at signing."

Sure, I thought it was due at signing. It actually ended up cheaper by putting it down there. Anyway, I will move it up.Thanks

Yep. Both rear and sides. Like the cleaner look.

ya make sure the auto-fold is pressed. I think its the button above where you manipulate the position of the mirrors on the door. If that doesn't work, not sure why it wouldn't be closing automatically.

Edit: or come to think of it, it may be an option in the Vehicle Settings in Comand.

This is correct. There should be an option to turn it off or on in the instrument cluster, as well as the Comand console.

I've gone into Comand and to Vehicle Settings and there is no Automatio Mirror Folding option? I also don't see a button on the cluster, amongst the million buttons.

WTF?!

The Automatic Mirror Folding function is on page 45 of the command guide for the sedan. Not sure if Command is different for the coupe.

Check vehicle settings in the command menu

Maybe I didn't read your post very carefully.... do you have this button above your mirror controls?

Nope...which means they definitely didn't install it on my car. Mother ****er. What is wrong with MB? Their quality control is absolute ***** lately.

Painful. Maybe the dealer can retrofit?

On a somewhat humorous note, apparently MB could not put "the best" folding mirrors on your coupe so they used the "or nothing" mirrors.
