Very nice. Sounds like a performance car should. And wow that was a lot of smoke.

On a side note, I put my summer tires on today!

And, on my way home . . . it started to snow.

JPMBenz I see you didn't list the Driver Assistance Package. What are your thoughts on this? I am considering just doing blind spot assist like you did.

997pkg – Driver Assistance Package
$TBA
233/266 – Distronic Plus w/Steering Assist 237 – Active Blind Spot Assist
238 – Active Lane Keeping Assist
23P – Driver Assistance Code
253 – CMS Rear
268 – BAS Plus w/Cross Traffic Assist
271/300 – PRE-SAFE Plus w/Pedestrian Recognition

JPMBenz

It's nice but for me I do not need it. Plus, I wanted the Illuminated Star which is not available with the 997 package. I do wish I had Lane Tracking as well but what can I do.

JPMBenz

My car froze in our system this morning. It has an estimated build date of 4/23!!!!

amanuuh

I can't wait till next month. We're both one of the first ones on each coast. We're about to kill it. How long is yours gonna stay stock? A good couple days before you do something? Hahaha

JPMBenz

Your on the west coast champ; I'm on the east coast! Haha


Welllllll, I currently already have some mods under way. Everyone will have to wait and see.

amanuuh

Ill be asking you what those are soon

I have some non low key stuff like (MAYBE) tint, wrap all the chrome, change the badges to black. Most likely all in the first week. Then some super top secret stuff. You'll probably find out sooner cause you follow me on IG

flhxtsy

Are you going to vinyl wrap the chrome? is that durable? Same for badges?

amanuuh

Yupp. I hate chrome lol

I got my brothers CLA45 wrapped and it looks painted. The badges the only way to do it properly is to take em off and have them painted but thats a pain in the butt so 99 percent of the people plastidip (did it to the CLA45) and it looks great.

I didn't go with the night package because I can get all the chrome wrapped for around 100. Im going to change the diffuser and the exhaust so those would be pointless to have black lol I don't really mind silver tips.

flhxtsy

Agreed. I didn't want the night package because i wanted to keep the side mirror caps white and i prefer the chrome exhaust tips. I would like to get rid of the chrome trim on the windows and the trunk. I just need to find a reputable place near me...

JPMBenz

You can be the Guiney pig for the mods and I debate on what to do.


Honestly, I think the stance of the car is perfect. I think it sits perfectly like the 507. Time will tell if the mod bug hits. HAHA

E1 pricing has been announced for the U.S
- $85,890 w/Polar White Paint
- $86,610 w/Metallic Paint
- $87,405 w/Diamond White Paint

kuba.95

Now the question is will the Canadians get their E1's before you and Amanuuh get your cars or will one of you guys beat us Canadians

amanuuh

I'm definitely not down to be a guniea pig for performance mods. All the other things I'm totally fine with being a guniea. I don't want to mess up the car with non performance proven parts. Cosmetics and suspension isn't a big risk lol

InfinityWind

What is the price for the Plladium Siver? Also, any word on CCB option on the E1?

amanuuh

That would be the second one. If you're in the usa it's not included and can't be added.

InfinityWind

Just got a text from my sale person. My E1 in Palldium Siver, including Red Break Calipers and destination fee is $88,035 delivery is in the third week in May

amanuuh

Congrats man

InfinityWind

A screen picture of my order

amanuuh

Eventually that 500 will go away cause red is stock on the S

amanuuh

Im starting to think the performance exhaust and the regular exhaust are the same? The difference seems to be the fact that you can choose how loud you want the exhaust on all modes. Whereas on the standard exhaust the valves open and close depending on what mode youre in. If thats the case ill keep it in sport all the time lmao

zibby43

Hey, at least the MBUSA rep I spoke to was telling the truth.

I said pricing would be revealed on or before the second quarter, and that has come to fruition.

Happy for all you guys that have W205s incoming.

csbear

Never understood why M, AMG, etc cars even come with chrome. Seems like many black out those parts anyways. Case in point, the first mod bunch of M4/M3 owners do is to replace the front chrome grills with the black ones.
