From what I have been reading it takes about a week for it to get built. I'm going to email my sales person tomorrow to see if there are any status changes.

My sales guy told me 10 days for build, then about a week till it's on the boat, 2 more weeks to get across the Atlantic, another 1-2 weeks at the VPC (Brunswick, GA for mine), then trucked to the dealership for 1-3 days. So from start to finish, you're looking at 39 - 48 days. Longer if there are any hurricanes.

According to your statement,
I will have to expect around Feb of 2024....
Waiting is too long...

Did MB announced about price yet?

Seems that they have really upped their game and have gone all out for this generation W206 C43. They seem to be putting a lot more effort in their ‘mid tier’ AMGs than BMW is with their mid tier M models. As some reviewers have said about the past gen C43 and the new one, the C43 is a lot closer to the full fledged C63 and the M340i is a lot closer to the 330i, but hey some people only want 6 cylinders. That dynamics pack has now become a “must have” for me if I were to pick a 2024 one up. Also very nice to see the digital lights get added to the Pinacle trim, however I think they should have also kept it as a standalone for the exclusive trim for those like alexasa who prefer to only tick the options they want rather than pay for a whole grouping of options that don’t interest you. I still find these trim level groupings stupid and something they should leave to Audi. What was wrong with the lighting package, premium package, multimedia package, burmester option all as stand alone options like they used to do on the previous generation of cars? I personally don’t care for a head up display or MB navigation (I just use CarPlay anyway) but do want the enhanced ambient lighting, burmester and upgraded lights, so I if I had the option, I would omit what I don’t want, save the money and call it a day.

I find it stupid that they restrict certain color combinations with Starling Blue. I understand not allowing people to spec it with the bright red interior as that would be a bit much, but the not allowing us to combine it with the brown makes no sense to me. Brown over blue is elegant and classy and I find these two specific colors to compliment each other really well. My current w205 is blue over beige (a color combo not too far different from blue and light brown) and I get tons of compliments on the color combo. My local dealer had a Starling blue over black C43 with chrome and no night pack and I feel in love with it. Starling blue is definitely the way I’m going on my next MB. I might even decided to skip the night pack this time as I found the lighter blue and chrome to work so beautifully, it was truly elegant.
I agree with you. The fact that you could not do Starling blue over brown is one of the reasons I went with an M440i GC X-Drive...Portimao with Cognac interior. Why BMW allows Blue/Brown but not MB is perplexing.

Got a build date of 1/31 for a extremely loaded up C43 however I see a $215 credit for missing enhanced ambient lighting. We looked at a base C300 with standard ambient lighting and seems to have all 64 colors and even the changing cold/hot lighting for vents. Anyone know the difference between standard and enhanced lighting? Also curious because the build guide specifically says AMG is excluded.

I thought the difference was the addition of lights in the vents and down the center console. My C43 was built 2 weeks ago, my sales person sent me an updated built sheet the other day with my VIN on it and it still says credit for enhanced lightning. I guess we will find out when they reach the dealers.. hopefully soon!

Anyone know if any 2024 C43s have reached the US yet? Mine was built 2 weeks ago, any chance of me getting it this month?

There are some 2024s at the VPCs but that means nothing about when they'll be released for sale.

After lots of homework and talking to dealer. 891 package does not have any color vents nor the center led strip around screen. They are going to confirm why its removed if the build guide says C43 is excluded. Also going to find out if their is a way to add it without delaying anything. If I hear more I can follow up.

I am curious for those built already how they come. I mean I feel for what were paying it should defiantly put given as priority for AMG builds.

It's a pretty big difference. If it was a selling point you'd probably want to pass on the car. The vents are retrofittable but I doubt the dash rim will never be an easy thing to do.

Ok all got some more news. So my dealership called distribution(least that is what they called it to me) and they were able to force add the 894 package back on without extending my build date at all. So those that see it missing and want it just have your dealer call distribution and try to add it back. That said I have pretty much every option selected including Magno paint so maybe because its pretty kitted out build they made exception but I would say its at least worth a try regardless.

Anyone has access to track an order by PO or VIN? My sales person kind of sucks at updates. My C43 was built over a month ago. I wonder where it’s at now.

Wonder if that is because they don't want 2024 on sales room floors too soon or before a certain date.

A VIN / Order number can usually be used to find out which ship the cars are on for MB. Most car are shipped on Wallenius Wilhelmsen car transport vessels, and you can find the car by entering in the tracking number on their website (which is either the VIN or order number.)

Or your SA could just tell you because netstar literally lists the vessel
