How are you cross shopping an M2 with a C43??? A C43 would be more like an M340i.

For me it's more pricing - C43, RS3, and M2 all will fall within the same price spectrum and being a single individual with no kids...It gives me more options

call me an internet sleuth - in reality just searching tags for these type of posts.

Here's aero on magno selenite for sale

https://www.olx.com.lb/ad/mercedes-c...114743548.html

Weird time for manufacturing. I'm just imagining a different part supplier being used from month to month, etc. and how many QC issues that can/will create. Hoping that the car is at least mechanically sound when it does arrive.

EQE was just priced at $76,000 by MBUSA, same car starts at Euro 70,200 in Germany. In France is sells for euro 80,000 but it includes 20% VAT tax. There could of course be a difference in standard equipment, but still it tells you something.
Also, the European pricing was set some time back when Euro was much stronger.

At the risk of sounding stupid…..this is my first Merc and while I’m Polar White, I’m curious, are these the same colors as Patagonia and Starling? Color choice is already so hard! Both of those are fire colors. I hope all who ordered those colors get their vehicle through the build prior to the stop date.

Ugh I just want my performance seats dammit!

That's kinda sucks as Lunar Blue was my pick. The other blue is a bit bright.

I wonder if they will bring Nautical Blue or we are stuck with the remaining options...

cardinal = hyacinth
starling = spectral
lunar blue is that dark purple/blue color

I could see Patagonia being subbed in for cardinal and maybe denim blue for lunar. Would love to see alpine grey offered (currently reserved for c63 only it seems). It's slightly abnormal to make the change in the first MY - but almost always additional colors will be added at some point.

I love denim blue - if that were offered later I'd have serious color envy

Just realized the configurators on both German and US sites have changed .... the visualization looks more real and maybe a bit more detailed. It's easier to see the studio package now. Of course you can only build the regular C300 on the US site

Nice! They also added back the performance seats to the .de site

and an interesting option that I haven't seen before:

They added many options on the German site, in addition to the above, they added Race mode like in C63.

You know, the fact that MBUSA is still showing this vehicle as future and have merely now added the 2024 C63 as future, is irritating. At what point will they update the the US Configurator? This is a 2023 vehicle. Many of you ordered 2nd qtr.

I’d like to complete my actual build to visualize this sight unseen vehicle I’m buying. That would at least give me something to do other than calendar watch and wait for my periodic SA text check in.

Red caliper option and black wheel options would save me some $$ on the back end of this deal, but don’t think it’s happening.

The more I see, the more I’m good with 19s living in MD. This reminds me….do any dealers offer paint protection film? I guess I should ask mine. As that will be stop No. 1 along with 5% tint.

I swear, every time I see the front end of these in black I think damn that’s sexy asf, why didn’t I get black? Lol.

It's not free though, it's part of some AMG dynamic package with Race mode which is Euro 2500. Same is on the French site.

At my dealership now speaking to my SA. Netstar shows I am still scheduled for production next week, 11/18. My order was highlighted in red, which means I can no longer make changes. No constraints from what he could tell (Studio, Burmeister, etc.), but still too early to tell. No VIN yet either.

Per Netstar, a few cars were already produced in October and are currently at the Baltimore VPC waiting to be released. They had VIN’s as well.

I’d be pleasantly surprised if I see the car before the end of the year but I’m certainly not holding my breath.

Will provide an update next week.
