That would have been easier for me to figure out, but I truly did recognize the building.

That desire does not go away... 3 months in for me. I like putting it in "Sport" Traction control. More RWD like in behaviour.

How do you find your paint? I ordered BB as well and the one in my showroom on a C300 had the worst orange peel I have ever seen, to the point that I told the sales manager thatI wouldn't accept it looking like that. They saw it once I pointed it out and then pointed to the S Class, which had it too, and the GTS, which had much, much less.


I'm quite nervous about this...

Huh, funny we have to point out MB issues in their showroom. Like they are blind to their own product.

When our car was delivered to us in their showroom last month, I pointed to a large dent on the passenger side near the gas filler flap. Lots of silly excuses and butt covering by staff ensued... not unlike an orchestrated comedy show.

Hope you have better luck!

Can you get black ash centre console - w/ aluminum trim?
Quote: Here's my C43
Wow looks awesome! I am thinking of getting the sedan version in the blue and want to get the black ash finish for the centre console. What is curious is, when I go into build your own (both on the MB USA and Canada sites), choosing the dark ash trim also changes the door trim to dark ash.

Your car has the dark ash but aluminum door trim which is what I want. Can you get dark ash console/ aluminum door trim? If so how?

The sedan has matching trim on the doors. The coupe gets aluminum trim on the doors.
