I have the digital dash and no multimedia, wanted the navigation so went with the new MB SD card nav system (you do need the $200 vehicle prewire), there's nothing missing that I can figure out yet by not having the multimedia except that I have more money left in my pocket. The digital dash is fantastic with lots of configurable options.

And forgot, "Live traffic" is included at no additional cost monthly, cool to see the streets turn Red or Orange and being able to avoid them and head to a Green street.

I ordered in May and the digital dash was a la carte. No questions about it when I ordered only the digital dash without command. Many markets also require the parking assistant/sensors to be packaged with the command system. That was also a stand alone package... what would have been better though is just the sensors for me since I know how to park in a city. Ha

Just what I wanted to hear.

I have the AMG 19" split spoke with black accents with run-flats. My wife had the runflats on a previous MB and I was so disgusted with them I bought a new set of tires. So far on this car I'm OK with them. They do have a firm ride but I personally like that. I would not consider it harsh by any means. Maybe a little time will tell. A plus is that you get some extra storage space beneath the trunk floor so stuff. Along those lines, I got the "Comfort Box" option. Really cool for $250, hangs from the underside of the rear deck, you pull it out and then push down the drawer part to whatever level you want and can store or hold stuff instead of it rolling around the trunk. Push 2 levers and it removes if you want. So far it's a very cool option.

2019 C43 Coupe
I never went through this with my Audi's or BMW's. Kind of disappointed in this experience so far.

I didn't order mine as early as some, but it looks like I will be waiting until March. I ordered my coupe in October and then the dealer called me the first week of December saying that the order was in. I'm guessing they couldn't "order" it until it was released. Still waiting on a VIN and hope March is a good date.

My order went into Netstar in October. As of last week the production date in Netstar was January 25th, so anticipating to have it by early March. I was in no rush for it, so didn't mind waiting. Now I'm just getting excited and anxious for it to get here.

For selfish reasons I wish that were the case but I'm still waiting too! Fingers crossed that it'll arrive on Friday and I'll be burning gas sometime next week.

Has anyone considered dropping their order that has been super delayed and finding one on a lot or available for trade? Especially up until last week, you could probably get substantially better deals vs. a special order that was placed mid last year and there is a lot of inventory on the lots already (at least at some dealers).
I'm not in the waiting boat as I didn't do an order, but I feel so bad for you guys that are!

So a note (pun intended) about the performance exhaust.....
The other day I was doing a conference call from my car. (car is in Comfort Mode since there is only 500 miles on the clock )
I was stuck in heavy traffic because someone was driving excessively slowly.
I got impatient and decided to pass them.
I was in 5th gear, I shifted down to 4th and hit the gas. I confess, got a bit more than I was expecting.
The car roared and shot forward like a rocket. I was at 85 before I knew it. My boss, on the other end of the phone, laughed hysterically and said holy s*** what was that??
I scared the hell out of the poor person I passed.
So, bottom line performance exhaust is wonderful, glad I got it.

Same, I'm just clunking around in my winter beater so no huge rush, BUT it would be amazing to have already.

E.g. I got selenite grey with AMG Drivers package, premium package, technology package, intelligent drive package, bi color rims, dark ash trim, and heads up display. The only thing I didn't get were the leather seats/performance seats and night package.
