Well the sales manager and I both believed that it was probably a system error, or the system hasn't been updated etc (It's been yellow for over a month now) and that the car should have been built already. So I'm not really to worried since the build date stated March 11th so even if it began production March 11th then it would have been built yesterday. Although when I call again on March 31st or 30th or whatever and the car still doesn't have a vin or theres some other system error etc, that's when I'll be asking questions.

Thanks for the Intel. Interesting comment about the "overwhelming world-wide demand." I guess I'll wait a while because (a) I really want 662 (19” AMG Cross-Spoke Forged – Black) and (b) if there really is an overwhelming world-wide demand, this car is going to be marked up out the gate. Bottom line: ~45 day slip from early March to late April.

Does anyone know what the 790 and 793 wheels look like. I take it the 770 wheels must be the titanium cross spoke design?

Thanks much. Hopefully they get the production problems solved for the early 2016 car deliveries. I'd hate to have to buy aftermarket wheels for a brand new car.

Basically....The C63's cannot get any upgraded 19" Wheels. The C63 can upgrade to the standard C63 S wheels only.

My order had the 19" Black Wheels so I will have to take the standard wheels. I cannot wait for a 2016. I'm happy just to get the car.

This is a good sign. Although I believe this is Bremen (sometime last week).

The design looks better by the day. First W205 C63 I've seen in "Iridium Silver Metallic."

Is anyone else getting frustrated with the lack of updates?-image1-4_zpsbaaou5c2.jpeg

That is pretty much my exact car minus that ugly euro front plate bracket. LOL

This may sound dumb of me, but I'm 100% sure MB roughly knows the demand of the vehicle and obviously, the wheels with it. Why advertise something, if they can't get it unless something happened with the parts they source it from? Is Mercedes this bad of a car company? Why advertise something that they have it then?

It happens to everyone... BMW had months delay if you wanted cf roof. You can't even get shikar orange on the the f8x till next year anymore. Those wheels have different process. Forged wheels take longer to make. The wheel supplier (idk who make their wheels;it could be bbs cause they make BMWs) didn't make enough for demand that the car is getting. You seem extremely salty. All your posts are always negative. Plus you havnt even ordered the car yet so why does it matter. If you end up ordering it there will probably be a wait for the car anyways lol

Oh sorry, i didnt know those were car forums. Yeah, thats the case all the time though. If you go on to youtube you hear complaints about all cars when the person is probably driving a ford escape.

"Sadly this is true...

in a nutshell:
- retail launch is delayed until Mid/End of April
- no optional wheels are available

And the pricing announcement is still pending as you can imagine the above situation affects take rates, volumes and pricing."
-MBUSA WILLIAM VETTER

Confirmed by MBUSA William Vetter on Private Lounge that the car launch is pushed to April and the wheels aren't available.

Well considering you keep saying you won't order till you get a price I feel like I made a good assumption haha

Well have you ordered it?

What does being impatient have to do with anything? Hell yeah I want my car lol but posting everyday doesn't mean ****. I'm not salty all the time. I post everyday on f80 post. I'm not getting a f80 lol
