It appears to just be with early build C43s--the newer builds have been hitting dealer lots sooner than those that were built in the summer time...
Thank you. Sounds like MB works differently than BMW. BMW publishes monthly RV and MF programming vs. quarterly. My concern was around locking into the 59% RV, starting my build, and then come March or April...the programming changes to say 62% RV. I did some historical research and it looked like RVs were upwards of 63% last Spring, which is when I'd be taking delivery.
I honestly don't know the answer to that question but in my previous experience the rates are published on a quarterly scale, not monthly. I could be completely wrong though.
My car finally arrived in North Carolina, USA, last Friday, 1/18/2019 (ordered on 6/19/2018)! So far, really pleased with it. Fit and finish are amazing. Leather smells fantastic. Here are a few close-up photos, hastily taken in my garage. Will try to take better photos next weekend, and post to the photos thread.

I ordered 10/19 and requested end of February begging of March delivery. The dealer re-configured an order for stock so it came a bit early. It took about 6 days to go from VPC to Tacoma and was here last Tuesday. About the only major option I didn't get was the AMG sport seats. I tried them out and liked them and I think they make the car look better, but black was the only option for the C43 and I prefer to have lighter colored interiors.

This car for my wife.
My dealer in Bay Area CA doesn't much help for configuration. CA, USA.
Thank you in advance.
Hey, I ordered the RVD black matte rims for my Polar White build and after seeing the completed car at the dealer last week I am glad I did, they look great and contrast the black accents of the car.
Here is a picture of the rims as you requested....

Tint and PPF go on this Friday.
Love the color combination, I have a C63 sedan on order in that same red.
I don't know if you wear jeans regularly but dye transfer is definitely an issue with white leather. If you wipe it down every week, it will greatly reduce the chances of it permanently staining.
Enjoy the car, it's a beauty!
I have pickup this week from the factory in Sindelfingen!!
I was never allowed to do factory delivery with any of the cars I bought through military sales. All had to be local. Except Bavarian Motorcars as they force you to due pick up on ordered cars in Wurzberg at their dealership.
My father in law worked for Mercedes so when he got his new car every year I would go with him for factory delivery. The tours are great and you're treated like royalty!

it's the same as mine, but in spain we don't have the option of the designo seats. I have the standard leather brown seats.
Exterior wise, I have the black multispoke wheels instead and the AMG exterior package with "night package"
Do you have the front splitter and side skirts?
regards
Thanks! I don't have the splitter (except for the fake default one) and side skirts...these were not an option for my USA order. Now that the MBUSA website has been updated, the designo seats seem not to be listed as an option here, either. But I was able to spec them last year when I ordered, and they are fantastic, lovely seats. Did you receive your car yet (don't remember if you posted pictures)? How are the roads in your part of Spain, for spirited driving?

I am waiting for a estimated delivery date. I ordered at the end of November, but now in January i suppose to know some more info, as it seems the Factory was pending of production assignments etc... I could add last week the 360 camera, front windows with extra noise/heat cancelation and rear airbags. I ordered really well equiped.
Yes, in general we have really good roads and also motorways, really well shaped, there some places that are in bad shape, with the last global crisis it's been noticeable the government reduced it's mantainance. but in general there is a lot of variety, mountain roads, flat roads etc.. another thing is that are plenty of speed cameras. In Catalonia region (Barcelona etc...) there are planty of motorways with tolls and usually are in really good shape and very good communications, but in Madrid for instance, they implemented the tolls in new motorways and nobody used them and the companies with the licence end-up banckrupt and the government assuming the costs, as in Madrid they don't like to use tolls and "not used" to that, prefer to use an old road/motoray than the new one and pay for it.
i find that I get decent crackles and pops in Sport+, but nothing in any other mode, even with the performance exhaust in loud setting. This is different than my previous C43 which would pop in other Dynamic Select modes.
