I believe you track by the name of the boat. I am sure they are together, my car was finished being built on Feb 11, so it would make sense! I still got a 2 week train ride after the atlantic crossing but with Vancouvers very odd east coast like winter, its still snowing here as I write this... so I am not in a rush

Estimated build currently May 2017.
Arrival into Melbourne after 6 weeks on the boat - July 2017.
The wait is already dragging on, how am I supposed to hang out till July?

Thats a long wait; I though the coupes 4 months was long, although I'm in the last one month stretch and it has gone by really quickly

2014 CLA250, 2017 C43 Sedan(Arriving in March/April)
I think I posted up there somewhere, but mine was ordered mid December, I was updated at the start of last week that the car was in a railcar coming through Georgia, so I'm guessing I'll have it slightly ahead of my original delivery date of March 27.

Oh shoot! I kinda rethought that after I posted... got you mixed up with a few other East coasters who have C43s! We are definitely on the same boat then... Nice spec.... I went back and fourth from Iridium silver and Magno Selenite for a month; went with the Magno only because my Vette is silver and wanted a little bit of a change. I have the premium, night pack, black forged wheels, 360 cam as well, with the open pour dark ash interior, and the performance seats .. hey do you have the code " U34 - Headphones, two " on your final build sheet your SA sent you as well? My dealer has no idea what it is.

I was *this* close to going with magno silver. I'm actually still debating whether to get xpel stealth once it gets here for the matte look. Still not sure.
And yes! I have the u34 headphones on the build sheet and it's been driving me nuts. No idea what that is. I was guessing maybe headphone jacks but doesn't really make sense.

I would of pulled the trigger on the Magno Silver right away if it was an available option; was told as a special order, could take forever. Ya I was thinking headphone jacks as well, but it really doesn't make any sense. Maybe headphones, two.... means usb? I believe the car has two of those

It's on a Boat!
Talked to my SA today and I ordered it in early November, have a feeling he delayed "submitting" the order, but whatevs. It's currently on the Ruby Ace which is still sitting in the port in Belgium. Expected Stateside arrival of March 14th. SA said it's usually 4-5days after the boat arrives that they'll have it. Add on time to tint/swap wheels, etc...I'm guessing I'll take delivery some time the last week of March.
Hurry up and wait

My C43W4 is scheduled for 04/13 currently, eagerly awaiting when the *actual* production date will lock in at the plant in Vance. Ordered at the end of January, so I'll gladly take the 04/13 build. For my '15 C300W build the *estimated* build date was later than the *actual* build, so I'm anticipating the same situation here.
CANNOT wait. This thing is gonna be slick

2017 C43 AMG Cabriolet Black/Cranberry Red
Put a deposit on our C43 cabriolet on Saturday (June 10th 2017). Because of this being the last of the 2017's, we took a car that was already in production which luckily checked all the boxes except for the ventilated seats. We're expecting mid July delivery. I give credit to those who have waited so long for theirs as one day already feels like a lifetime.
On a side note, I feel bad for our 2016 C300 4Matic because it's pretty much chopped liver to us now.
