I was thinking the same thing, not going too crazy on mine. I heard AMR Performance has the most gains with this platform and their tune doesn't void dealer warranty so I am going to check it out.

Brabus have one, BRABUS PowerXtra B30-410, PN 205-B30-00-280, 410 PS & 570 Nm

Not sure on pricing, normally high end, but you usually keep your factory warranty intact if it's fitted at a MB dealership.

C43 Coupe
So question, is there anyway to tie the performance exhaust switch to the individual setting... Able to do the rest of the settings the way I want but don't see an option for the exhaust... so when I hit individual it turns off my exhaust, which I want on.

I checked into their software too but I think I am going to go with AMR. They have the worlds fastest C450 (same motor) and their software upgrade alone gives more hp and tq gain than any other brand while still keeping the factory warranty intact. I am thoroughly impressed with their accomplishments with this platform. I wonder if anyone will pass stage 2 with a C43/C450.

Hello,

The BRABUS tune is $2995.00 and comes with a 4 year 50K warranty on engine and transmission. Most MB dealers in the US will honor the BRABUS ECU tune.

Other tunes might have more HP, but no tune will have the warranty and backing like BRABUS. Please let us know if you have more questions.

Thank you!

Maybe MOST will honor it but ALL will honor AMR because they cannot detect it and AMR lifetime warranties their software. No disrespect to Brabus, I just see better quality and proven results from AMR Performance.

Long time lurker. Congrats on the C43! We are considering getting one. Thanks for mentioning that you were able to get red stitching and ventilated seats, even though the Canadian configurator would not let you do that. The US one won't let us do that either, so it will be interesting to see if one can also combine the red stitching and ventilated seats in the US market.

You can definitely order red stitching/seatbelts with ventilated seats, but you have to get leather. You can't get MBtex.

On MB's website it doesn't let you add ventilated seats to the black leather with red stitching/seatbelts. Good to hear that this is an option for US market cars.

Hmm. I just took a look and it will let you choose it for C43 coupe but not sedan. I definitely ordered it on the C43 coupe.

It's funny though because the C43 sedan order guide says requires Designo interior to get ventilated seats. I think you can do it though. My car's not here yet though!

Interesting that the order guide says it requires Designo interiors to get ventilated seats. Online it won't let me add ventilated seats to the Designo interiors (although, we weren't considering either Designo interior choices).

Also, I passed my local MB dealership this morning and saw them doing maybe a quick road test or something on a new Lunar Blue C43 sedan...it looked amazing! Our sales person called last night to tell us they just took deliver of a few C43 Coupes and Sedans and to come by if we want to drive one this weekend.

The 8/25/16 dealer order guide says this about the ventilated seats:
C43: Available with 251, 267 and 268 upholsteries or within a designo package (P62, P87). Not available with AMG Performance seats (555).
I confirmed with my SA a couple times that the designo package does show ventilated seats as a sub-option, but I guess I'll find out for sure later today when I go to pick up my sedan. It's possible that MB changed that option since I ordered (which was back in July), or the configurator on mbusa is just wrong.

Yea, that's what I can't tell - whether MBUSA is wrong or the configurator. Wishing you luck with your new C43.

Does anyone know if the only MB factory option on the C43 sedan for rear spoiler is carbon fiber? It looks like one can choose a painted rear spoiler on the coupes. Do they offer a painted spoiler for the sedan but its not on the configurator?

Interesting that one can also choose the carbon fiber package on the coupe and get CF mirrors and the rear spoiler...but on the configurator they don't offer the CF package with CF mirrors on the sedan.
