Diamondwhite C43 Coupé with AMG Optic Package and Night Package
Malar, your car looks great with that AMG Optics Package. A few of us over on the other thread are asking about the front splitter/spoiler of the AMG Optics Package, and are hoping that someone on the forum who has this on their car can help look up the part number for it.
Still waiting for delivery of custom order 2019 C43 in NJ. Built in Vance; events reports production started 6/10/2019. Dealer reports that part is on backorder. Did not get HUD and no info on what is back ordeed. Anyone else waiting on custom 2019 C43?

That’s unfortunate. My custom ordered ‘19 also started production around 6/10, but I took delivery on 6/26 (MA).
Can you list all options you got? Can compare with mine and maybe we can zero in.

Sorry to hear, that is frustrating. Hope you get some answers soon.
I'm in Jersey and my car was built on June 6th (ordered it on 3/20/19). Was delivered on 6/26.
The only back order item I'm aware of is the HUD, but obviously there must be something else. What was your spec if you don't mind me asking? Maybe other's on here can tell what was back ordered.

I think I am having a really bad luck with this order.... as commented ordered in november last year. Strangely MB gave to the dealer final dates of production etc... in March/april updated that will be a MY2020 version and produced in September. and delivery end of october.
Yesterday I went to the dealer to check the status of the order and arrange the maintenance plan, check insurance offer etc.. as i agreed with them to do so. It was a huge surprise for the Salesman and me, when we look at the order and it's been done changes to it, after May when we did the last additions.
We added a couple of options in January and a couple more in May. In May the new ones available for MY2020. But it's seems the administrative staff didn't notice that doing the updates the system unselected some options, as for 2020 version the "Premium Package" has changes and do not selected them again. Also the salesman recognised it's error of not tracking the order, and do not receive and double check what the admin staff did it as it's usually done.
Now, I have an issue, no digital cluster, no Comand, no Midline Audio (just the Audio20), no wireless charging, no 64 ambient lighting and it seems also no 360 camera. Strangely the multibeam still selected, when it's part of the package. At least all the rest of equipment still intact, it's quite a volume.
I suppose it's difficult to know if all of this can be fitted afterwards.... any experience?
The dealer already informed that I have the right to cancel it, take back the money or order a new one. (the worst case, 5 months of more wait...).
Reorder the car. Absolutely and unfortunately impossible to retrofit. The dashboard is a must as well as the performance exhaust. Reorder maybe they give you a better deal. It’ should not be 5 months. Usually around 3 months. Good luck.

thanks, the performance exhaust it's ordered, that's no issue, to me looking at the functionalities etc... main upset it's for the digital dashboard and comand and all the integration allowed.
just for transport from East london to EU - Spain it's about 2 months.
No way I'd go without the digital dash, the ambient lighting and the 360 camera. You can get the Burmiester audio without the Command. As for Command you can do without it and if you want Nav you order the MB SD card nav option. You need to start over. I guess the dealer has admitted it but he totally screwed up. Personally I went for the Sedan, easier to get into the back seat and more practical for me. I think with the Cardinal Red and the Blackout trim and wheels it's still aggressive enough for me, especially with the AMG exhaust. It's built in the US so delivery is quicker and more controllable.

It's been checked with the dealer, what can be retrofitted. They asked MB, and only the Command, 360 camera can be retrofitted. But the digital dashboard, ambient light can't. I was not really worried with the ambient light, but not having the digital dash and midline (at least this one and avoid the Audio20), was a problem. At the end no problem, new order and solved. Now another wait of 5 months.
they will check what happened with the factory, but it seems MB themselves, when looking at the order history was doing changes themselves.
I'm one of the few that didn't spec their car to their liking but found one at a great deal:
2019 AMG C43 Sedan in Iridium Silver Night Package w/ Black Leather + Red Stitching + Carbon Fiber Trim
Optional Equipment and Value Added Packages:
AMG Steering Wheel in Nappa/DINAMICA ($500) 19" AMG Twin 5-Spoke Wheels, Black ($850) Summer High Performance Tires (P-Zero Run-flats) (N/C) AMG Illuminated Door Sills (N/C) AMG Performance Exhaust System ($1250) Heated & Ventilated Front Seats ($450) Panorama Roof ($1000) 12.3" Digital Instrument Cluster ($750) Burmester Surround Sound System ($850) 64-Color Ambient Lighting (best $310 I spent) Wheel Locking Bolts ($150) Exterior Lighting Package: LED Intelligent Light System, Adaptive Highbeam Assist (pretty neat, you can see the lights shift in different areas during an evening drive - $900) Multimedia Package (I could've done without - $2300) AMG Night Package (a very underpriced $300) Advanced Parking Assist Package (more of a nuisance with all the overly sensitive false alarms.. reverse camera is all you need - $1090) Driver Assistance Package (another thing I could've done without since I prefer to pay attention to the road and actually drive than automate - active emergency stop is VERY jarring, I've had minor whiplash on a couple occasions- however the one thing I do use is blind spot assist since my neck can't swivel like it used to - $1800)
US/Canadian Parts: 49% German Parts: 37% (Engine + Transmission)

I finally agreed with the dealer to take the car. I received a big discount, and also some discount to install the comand online, I will check with their partner to improve the audio as now it has the Audio20 and not midline, Only thing I loose it's the ambient lighting and 360 camera. The digital cluster I am looking at options to install it or wait as MB decides for the OEM installation as it seems to happen sooner or later.
