0-100km/h in 4.4 sec is a lot slower than the official claim and also slower than the previous W/C204 C63, it should be quicker 
wheel spin the culprit ?
We'll have to wait and see results from more test runs.

They didn't do a race start which probably brought the 0-100km/h time up a bit. Plus they did it in S+ mode, instead of Race.

This. Preferably test runs conducted by "organized" entities.
Only the car magazines (e.g., both Car & Driver and Motor Trend have tried and true methods) go about testing acceleration in a scientific and consistent manner (so that results can be compared).
Although I know the W204 C63 is capable of 3.8-second sprints to 60, if I turned it over to one of my buddies, perhaps 5.0 seconds is the best he could do. There are just so many factors. And you have to get the launch right. All of the "best" 0-60 times are done from a dead stop. Roll-out results in slower times. Botched launches result in the slowest times.
There are just too many flaws in these YouTube interior run videos. It's analogous to me trying to time a baseball prospect by watching cell phone footage of him running to first base. It's just not going to be that accurate.
