2012 C63 Coupe P31
I think you need to take delivery in December to get the winter package which, based on your post and timing, clearly isn't possible. The other reality/downside of this is that they are backordered so actually getting a set now will be tough if not impossible before late winter/spring. Therefore, if you need winter tires (i.e. you plan to drive the car in the Canadian winter) you will end up needing to buy after market anyway as the package isn't practically available (unless you are lucky). When the package does come, you end up with two sets... they can't give you credit either as they process it as a warranty claim. Your only option is to then sell a set privately. The whole deal, although great of MB to offer, wasn't thought through well IMO.
My delivery date was originally end of Oct...then it was pushed to Nov. then bumped again finally to Dec.22nd...but like I said because it was so close to the holiday the dealer said they wouldn't receive it until shortly after the new year holiday. But they never mentioned this package to me at anytime..so thats why I was wondering it your dealer informed you or you had to bring it up from hearing it somewhere else. Given the previous delivery bumps I wasn't all that impressed and was going to postpone my delivery because of the fact that if I received it in Dec. I would have to purchase extra tires and rims and wasn't interested in doing so. I'm just wondering if I can work it so they can do something for me since they bumped my delivery dates a few times and where I should have received it in Dec but because they were on holiday I have to wait til later this week.
