Hi All,
New member, first post...I've ordered a C43 AMG. This will be my first Mercedes. I currently own a '21 m340i. I decided to switch because BMW just had to replace the transmission at 23k miles! While I love the performance of the m340, the trim just doesn't come close to the C43 and BMW doesn't offer any matte color in the m340, iirc they are reserved for the M3.
My build (modified an existing dealer allocation) is as follows:
Selenite Grey Magno
Driver Assistance Package
Exterior Lighting Package
Multimedia Package
AMG Night Package
AMG Night Package II
AMG Performance Seat Package (MB-Tex)
20" Wheels w/Black Accents
AMG Carbon Fiber Trim
Panorama Sunroof
Pinnacle Line
Burmester

How can you track the status? Is there a website to enter the VIN?
#679
My dealership is sends me regular update emails with the tracker... which looks like this:
The button for "live updated status" doesn't work. The ETA is in year 9999 lol

At least you're getting some updates, I have to track my rep down with days of no response for a basic update... Hope you get it soon!

Those with a VIN, please throw it into this website: https://mb.vin/
Curious to know if US cars are equipped with either of the following codes (or both):
961: Exhaust system with OPF, generation 2.0
K31: Noise regulations as per ECE R51-03
From what I can tell - US cars should be the same as EU cars but it would be cool if this wasn't the case. (both codes are in lower half, ctrl+f if you don't want to read through).

My car doesn't have either of those codes.
It did show RZY "AMG double-spoke wheels 20" with mixed tires"

I do not see those codes on my final build sheet.
But I have this code. U50 Omission of Dark Tinted Windows – US Regulatory Requirement
#687
totally normal - night package includes tinted windows in EU - that is illegal(not sure if that's the right word) here in the states. No front windows come factory tinted here in the states.
#688
then what about the side windows and the sunroof?
#689
Usually, sedans don't get any factory tint on the side windows either. The sunroof always seems to be tinted at least slightly. This is consistent with the car I saw in person.
and finally a cirrus production car, first I've seen.

C43 seems like the sweet spot over heavier C63...
Wish the wife and kids would embrace a SEDAN over the SUV.
We watched the MB plant in Vance, AL get built (wife's best friend from the Blood Bank of NY Research Facility abroad took a position at UAB) and even had the original ML320 on order. Cancelled it and got my dream truck: a 1999 Chevy Tahoe 2dr that the wife conveniently hijacked after first kid came on the scene. Recently drove a fully loaded GLC300 loaner for nearly 70-days and 3000 miles un-Enchanted all over New Mexico...I'm glad MB switched C-Class production to South Africa!
If the C43 Touring ever got certified for the North American Market would instantly trade the wife's CRV Hybrid...in a Parallel Universe where she would also embrace my love of driving instead of short trips to her USDA gig in Athens GA, the Big Box Stores for Stuff, and Gardening Supplies.

Does the US Spec come with the dynamics package?
I used the configurator on the French website and it had the AMG Dynamics package and it added Race mode to the car. My CLA45 had the same option and it included race mode.

The C43 isn't even on the French version of the site. Not sure what you were configuring or where - but as far as I know, race mode is not available on the W206 C43 and the Dynamics package is not an option.
