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.
Come on man, all it takes is one google search and you can easily see you are wrong. The W206 C43 has the dynamics package and race mode..
C43 is only listed under AMG vehicles, the German site does not navigate the same way. Still not an option here in the US along with red brake calipers and some other things - maybe MY2024 it will be?
they've also added a carbon fiber wheel option to the german configurator. That's the only way you get a 12 o'clock marker - probably the only thing from the w205 that sucks not to get.

It's amazing how many fewer options USA gets. Although we don't have 20% tax.. yet.
The more I see the studio pack the less I mind that they omitted it from my build. The larger trunk spoiler I will miss for sure but extra bottom piece makes the rear diffuser stand out less imo... The fins look great without it

completely agree. for the rear - the only must have is the spoiler and it was my least favorite item originally. Even the bumper flics take away from the definition of that area. For what it's worth - we don't know if any of our Early US cars will get studio, I think we are assuming those waiting for performance seats might get studio pack - but seeing that it's a standard option in the Asia market, it all depends.
and the front I'm kind of in the same boat - really just like the upper flics. I do not think having or not having studio is a big deal - I like that it's OEM but you can easily pick and choose after the fact.
this looks like the best of both worlds to me for the rear
and on the front you can just wrap the lower exterior bits like this to achieve much of the same look up front
For those who want an understated look, it might not be a bad thing to be fair.
While I like the spoiler, everything else to me is so barely noticeable that Studio was never a blip on my radar due to the cost. The C43 is much more different than the C300 than the M340i/330i and S4/A4 are. To me, the only one that compares for being much more aggressive is the CT5-V/CT5.

these black wheels are so sexy. Are they 20's? or 19's?

I think the front grille makes the C43 much more different than the C300. M340/ 330i or A4/S4 look very similar except the M or S letter
I just spoke to my SA today and my car is on the ship now and ETA is 1/30
AND there is NO Mark up for my c43! YAY !!
Haven't decided between leasing and financing though.
Wow congrats. Did you have to negotiate the no markup, or did they just write it off on their own? I'm trying to see how I can get my dealership to take off the 5k markup so I can pay MSRP.
does the asian specced c43 have the noise reduction like european c43?
I believe so. Either way it's apples to apples because both cars either have or do not have OPF.
I think US cars will be, marginally, more fruity sounding. This is also the easiest car to do a cat replacement I've ever seen. V band clamps and can probably do the entire thing from the top of the engine bay lol
